SETTING UP DOSEMU USING FREEDOS AND WIN 98 SYSTEM FILES
Why I had to do this: hdimage.first (FreeDos image?) can't lredir other
partitions so I think you have to use MSDOS, DR-DOS, Windows 9x, etc.
Current status: can access windows partition, cdrom, printer works, some dos
software works, mouse doesn't work, vesa video modes not recognized, vga not
recognized
My system/software: dual-boot windows and linux, Windows 98, RedHat 6.1,
dosemu 0.99.12-1, FreeDOS 0.99.10-5mdk (from Linux Mandrake 6.0)
NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE TO RE-EDIT DOS FILES FROM DOS TO HAVE CR-LF INSTEAD OF
JUST LF AT THE END OF EACH LINE. (BATCH FILES, AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS &
MYDOS.SYS)
create dir
/var/lib/dosemu/freedos
add to /etc/fstab
/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.first /mnt/freedos msdos user,noauto 0 0
add to /etc/mtools.conf
drive d: file="/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage.freedos" offset=8832
then mcopy files from freedos image to freedos dir
cd /var/lib/dosemu/freedos
mcopy -/ d:.
create dir
/var/lib/dosemu/bootdir
copy all files in /var/lib/dosemu/freedos to var/lib/dosemu/bootdir
(I used kde file manager to copy files)
in /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir delete COMMAND.COM
copy the following from the Windows C: drive to /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir
(overwrite freedos files)
command.com
msdos.sys
io.sys
edit the following files in /var/lib/dosemu/bootdir:
top of msdos.sys file:
[Paths]
WinDir=D:\WINDOWS
WinBootDir=C:\
HostWinBootDrv=C
[Options]
BootMulti=1
BootGUI=0
DoubleBuffer=1
add to autoexec.bat file:
path=c:\bin;c:\dosemu;"c:\vim-5.3"
config.sys file:
files=20
buffers=20
rem screen=0x12
rem tell dosemu where your windows partition
rem and cdrom are mounted under linux
device=c:\dosemu\emufs.sys /mnt/c
device=c:\dosemu\emufs.sys /mnt/cdrom
device=c:\dosemu\ems.sys
device=c:\bin\nansi.sys
What I changed in in dosemu.conf:
$_cpu = "80586" # CPU showing to DOS, valid values: "80[345]86"
# change "hdimage.first" to "bootdir"
$_hdimage = "bootdir"
#I had to turn off xms (forms engine crashes)
$_xms = (off) # in Kbyte
# ????
$_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" # e.g. "/dev/mouse" or "/dev/cua0"
$_com2 = "/dev/mouse" # e.g. "/dev/modem" or "/dev/cua1"
$_mouse = "microsoft" # one of: microsoft, mousesystems, logitech, mmseries
$_mouse_dev = "/dev/mouse" # one of: com1, com2, com3, com4 or /dev/mouse
$_printer = "LaserJet" #my printer in /etc/printcap
mount the windows partition and cdrom first, then open a console window, make the window
taller (not wider!) and enter dos to run dosemu
