Unfortunately, at this point I'm getting the infamous "BIOS panic at rombios.c, line 1558" error: $ qemu -hda win98.img -boot d Serial port redirected to /dev/pts/3 QEMU 0.5.5 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) BIOS panic at rombios.c, line 1558 $ ls -l total 124784 -rw-rw-r-- 1 jonc jonc 2048000000 May 25 10:32 win98.img -rw-rw-r-- 1 jonc jonc 127647744 May 25 10:37 win98.iso I created the img file using /dev/zero and then I copy up the win98se disk to an iso image.
