I don't use pcspk, but the rest of the options look similar. These are my options. To make them easier to read, I'll split them up into groups: For the basic VM: 32MB memory, US keyboard, local time. Fill in the blanks for your hard drive image and your CDROM image. -m 32 -k en-us -rtc base=localtime -hda ___ -cdrom ___ -boot order=cd ..or if I'm installing FreeDOS from the CDROM media: .. -boot order=dc For the network: NE2000 ISA card (haven't tested yet though) -device ne2k_isa For sound: SoundBlaster16 with Adlib support -soundhw sb16,adlib For video: standard Cirrus VGA -device cirrus-vga For display: use SDL -display sdl Some of these options may be extraneous (might be set by default) but I figured I should set them anyway so I knew what the values are. I create my hard drive image as 200MB, using this command line: qemu-img create ___ 200M Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
