Hello,
with the new dosemu 1.1.99.1 I have tried to boot a image of a harddisk (hda2,
where my native dos is located). The image was created with dd-command, size
=200 MB.
I have tried to boot the harddisk image with dosemu in the following ways:
1 As partition (Dosemu.conf statement: $_hdimage=/dev/loop0). Before I have
mounted the disk image with the mount command (mount /opt/dosemu/hda2.img
/mnt -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop0) as loopback device on a mountpoint . I am
able to change in this "partition" and can see the content like files and
directories. But if I start dosemu, (Xdos) then the following errormessage
appears:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> xdos
In file included from built-in global.conf:832
from built-in global.conf:690
Error in built-in global.conf: (line 745) /dev/loop0 must be a PARTITION,
can't find number suffix!
1 error(s) detected while parsing the configuration-file
What number suffix is needed?
2. As simple hdimage (dosemu.conf statement: $_hdimage=hda2.img)
Than the following errormessage appears:
ERROR: IMAGE /opt/dosemu/hda2.img header lacks magic string - cannot
autosense!
3. As virtual floppy (statement in the dosemu.conf: $_vbotfloppy=hda2.img)
The dosemu window appears with the following message:
Cannot load DOS press key to retry
After pressing a key, dosemu die.
The same three options I have tried with a disk image created from a 720 k
floppy with the same results like with hda image , excepts in the following
case: (dosemu.conf statement: $_vbootfloppy=floppy.img).
Immediately after the start, dosemu crashes with a Error mesage:
ERROR: general protection at 0x700: 0
I do not know, why there is a difference.
Please note, that for the hard disk hda2 direct partition access was
succesfull (dosemu.conf statement: $hdimage=/dev/hda2) i.e. I was able to
boot DR-DOS 7.03 from it.
Is there someone who had successfully booted dosemu from a image file created
with the dd-command and if yes how?
Thank you in advance
Bernhard
