[Qemu-devel] Issues with cdrom and floppy in Netware OS

[Mike Wissa]

Hello,
I am having issues with cdrom access in Netware OS.
The Netware OS installation is in 2 stages. The first
stage the CD rom is loaded from DR. Dos followed by
installing all components necessary for stage 2 of the
install. The first stage goes very smooth (i.e,
detects NIC, detects drives). The 2nd stages unloads
the dos driver and loads the cdrom via Netware Storage
System NSS. From that point, the installation cannot
load the cd rom. The installation debug screen keeps
displaying messages "Detected Cdrom On Device Qemu".
This message keeps scrolling down and all attemtps to
load the cdrom fails. The same issue with floppy, the
floppy displays "someone turned off the floppy motor"
when the OS tries to access the floppy. I tried
booting from isos as well from direct access to cdrom
devices, with same results. I am not sure if there are
some functions not implemented in the bios. Appreciate
your help.
Thanks
