Since dosemu-0.66.4 you will not need the complicated method of generating
a bootable dosemu suite (see Quickstart). However, who knows, maybe you
need the old information too ...
If you are new to DOSEMU
- Make CERTAIN that your first disk statement in /etc/dosemu.conf IS
pointing to your hdimage!
- Reboot DOS (the real version, not DOSEMU.) Put a newly formatted
diskette in your a: drive. Run "sys a:" to transfer the system files
to the diskette. Copy SYS.COM from your DOS directory
(usually C:\DOS) to the diskette.
- Reboot Linux. Run 'dos -A'. After a short pause, the system should
come up. Try "dir c:" which should list the files on the harddrive
distribution image. If that works, run: "sys c:".
Exit dos by running "c:\exitemu". If you have problems, hold down the
<ctrl> and <alt> buttons simultaneously while pressing <pgdn>.
(<ctrl><alt><pgdn> will automatically exit dosemu.)
If you already have a HDIMAGE file
- If you have a previous version of DOSEMU running, you should copy the
.SYS, .COM, & .EXE files in the ./commands directory over to the
hdimage drive that you boot from. Some of these files have changed.
If you don't know how to copy files from/to the hdimage
- Have a look at the recent mtools package (version 3.6 at time of writeing).
If you have the following line in /etc/mtools.conf
drive g: file="/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage" partition=1 offset=128
then you can use all the mtool commands to access it, such as
# mcopy g:autoexec.bat -
Copying autoexec.bat
@echo off
echo "Welcome to dosemu 0.66!"
... all clear ? ;-)
