Bootable HDImage not using FreeDos for Download?

Bootable HDImage not using FreeDos for Download?

[Dan Egli]

does anyone know of a dosemu hd image that one could download? I'm having
absolutely no luck in making a custom hdimage work! I was finally able to
build an image, but when I try to use it in Dosemu, dosemu crashes on boot.

I honestly don't care if it's MS-DOS, or Caldera Dos, or whatever, as long
as it's not FreeDos because I need emufs.sys and/or lredir.exe to work and
they are confirmed to not work under FreeDos.

Thanks in advance!
Dan

I can confirm that they *do* work under FreeDos. Also, it's much easier to
boot from a directory instead of an hdimage.

But to answer your question: I think www.drdos.com still has an hdimage
available.

Dan,
I don't know if this will help, but I had no trouble getting mthe dos on 
my windows 98 SE partition to work. It boots up just fine under dosemu.

Hi John,

Would you mind describing in detail how you did this?

Hugh,
First, I used an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the Windows partition on 
/win. I set the permissions on /win to everybody. Can't quite remember 
what the chmod command was. Something like chmod 777 /win. This had to 
be done by root, of course. Next I put config.sys and autoexec.bat files 
with different extensions in the root directory of the Windows 
partition. I had already installed dosemu-1.1.3 for systemwide access. 
Then in the dosemu directory of my user directory (not root), I put a 
symbolic link to /win. In the dosemu configuration file I set $_hdimage 
to the symbolic link as drive C, the freedos directory as drive D, etc.
In the autoexec.bat file for dosemu, which I think I called 
autoexec.ems, I set the path to point to \windows\command, followed by 
d:=freedos, etrc.  The dosemu config.sys, which I called something like 
config.ems was fairly straightforward, except that i set a large value 
for the /e or environment parameter, because I have some greedy C 
compilers in that partition. 
I can send these files if anyone wants them, and also my configuration 
file.
Let me know if this needs clarification.
