Hello, <Has anybody made a successful boot image from a fat16 <partition for use with dosemu 1.99 < <I have the partition mounted as /dosc but that drive <is going away, so need to virtualize to a file image. < <Tried <dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/hdimage etc... <mkfatimage16 -k32768 -f hdimage -b /dosc /dosc < <tried dd of the mbr to a separate file in combination <with the above and none work???
I had the same idea and it seems it does not work for the dd-command. What work is following: 1. Create a hda image with dd if=/dev/hda2 of=hda2.img (my DOS is on hda2). Than I have created a mount point /mnt/dosimage (with mkdir) After this I have mounted the image as loop device with mount /LIBDIR/hda2.img /mnt/dosimage -t msdos -o loop=/dev/loop0 Now it's possible to lredir the image on the /mnt/dosimage directory (in the autoexec.bat) and use the programs in this drive, but unfortunately, I had no success to start this image. By the way, but not helpfull for you, it is possible to boot from a bootable floppy image created with dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img Then in dosemu.conf $_vbootfloppy=floppy.img and it works at least if the floppy was 1,44 MB. With 720 kB floppys I hadn't success.
