In this case, I think TOS.HYP is wrong. -33 is ENOENT, which is "No such
file or directory". -34 is ENOTDIR "Not a directory". There's even this
comment in mint/errno.h....

   KERNEL/FIXME: This used to be the same as ESRCH and and ECHILD,
   in the kernel it was usually called EFILNF.  Fix the wrong usage
   of ESRCH and ECHILD and replace EFILNF with ENOENT.  */
