If you choose option 0 or wait 5 seconds, the installer will proceed to install FreeDOS from the CD.įrom the menu, choose option 1 to "Configure FreeDOS installation settings". (One can put files in C:\ now.) The installer now begins. Answer YES.Īt this point, FreeDOS formats drive C. Now that drive C has a partition, you must still format the disk, which creates a FAT filesystem on it. The system will reboot.Īs before, choose option 1 (twice) to boot FreeDOS Setup and Load XMSDriver. Now that your disk has a partition for drive C, press Escape twice to exit FDISK. (The partition that you install FreeDOS onto must be active so that it boots.) The easiest thing to do now is to say "Y" to make one large partition. If you want more, then you would create three primary partitions and one extended partition, then add logical drives to the extended partition.) (FDISK supports up to four primary partitions. (You must use FDISK to create a partition for drive C before you can create a filesystem.)ĭo you want to use large disk (FAT32) support (Y/N).?Ĭhoose option 1 for the "Primary DOS Partition". Now our new "c.hd" has no data on it, so FreeDOS correctly suspects that you need to format the disk. Just press ENTER or choose option 1 (again) to pick the "Load XMSdriver" option and continue booting. Just press ENTER or choose option 1 to start booting the CD. $ qemu -hda c.hd -cdrom fdbootcd.iso -boot d Now use QEMU to boot the CD for installing FreeDOS onto drive C. (One hundred megabytes, 100M, should be plenty for drive C, but you can use more or less if you want.) From the command line, cd into the directory with your fdbootcd.iso, and use the following commands:Īfter cd to the directory with fdbootcd.isoįormating 'c.hd', fmt=raw, size=1048576 kB Now we need to create drive A and drive C for FreeDOS.
QEMU HOW TO
You know how to use the command line (or if you have it, a QEMU graphical user interface) on your computer.QEMU can run on x86, x86_64 (also known as AMD64), and PowerPC machines, and possibly others check the status page. You can also run QEMU on Unix (including BSD and Linux) but only if QEMU supports your processor architecture.
QEMU MAC OS
There are ports of QEMU to both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
