I repartitioned, put the HD into installation target Dell laptop as only HD,
then
installed by booting the 1.2 CD to a prompt, then:
A:\> FORMAT C: /S /U /V:HI60P03FD12
Then I created C:\FDOS and copied the content of C:\BIN to it. That too boots to
just a dot and a cursor and no keyboard response except to CAD.
I purposely did not create C:\FDCONFIG.SYS. Has this become a requirement? If
so,
what is its bare minimum? I tried creating one, but it didn't change the
apparent
result.
This is the partitioning:
OS version : Linux 3.12.67 (x86_64) openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64)
Current user : root on gx780 using TERM=linux
Disk 2 forcing : cylinders from 7296 to 57232
Disk 2 forcing : heads from 255 to 64
Disk 2 forcing : sectors from 63 to 32
L-Geo Disk 2 Cyl : 57232 H: 64 S:32 Bps:512 Size:0x06FC8000 = 57232.0 MiB
