[Qemu-devel] help! win98 installation qemu-0.5.5

[Nicolas Wu]

Hey all, wondering if there are any suggestions for
how to install win98se from a cdrom image.
ive tried
qemu -hda c.img -cdrom win98.iso -m 128 -boot d
and it seems to work well except when asking to install
from the cd, it asks to format the hd, but then says that
i must insert the cdrom before continuing.. strange!
snooping around the mailing list hasnt helped
does anybody have any suggestions? - how did you install your
win98? or where can i look for help?

thanks!
nick

This didn't work for me. I did it manually: 98 asks if it should install
or boot with/without CD. I then said boot with CD, "d:", "fdisk", created
a primary partition, exited fdisk, restarted qemu, booted again with CD,
"d:", "format /s c:", restarted qemu and finally let it install.

Hth,

Hi,

Well, the simplest thing to do is to download a bootable floppy image of 
Windows 98SE boot disk. Get this file:

http://files.frashii.com/~bootdisk/file02/boot98c.exe

then unzip the file (ignore the error - the header is build with EXE to 
write to physical floppy disk, and we don't need it on Linux).

Then boot QEMU only with this floppy image (with -fda) and -hda <your 
hard disk image> and use fdisk and format as usual (don't forget: format 
c:/s). After you'll finish, restart QEMU without this floppy, but with 
the CDROM image, and boot from the CDROM.

Good Luck,
Hetz

gotchya, it works fine now... found format in d:/win98 and it's
installing away nicely. how exciting. my own pet win98 to play with!
feed it and care for it and it might only crash every 3hrs!
