Problem with booting DOS from floppy with dosemu

Problem with booting DOS from floppy with dosemu

Post by Henning Saue » Fri, 20 Aug 1999 04:00:00



Hello,

I tried to boot DOS from floppy with dosemu 0.99.10 that came with
RedHat 6.0/i386 with dos -A and my floppy drive got busy for a few
seconds, but then dosemu just hangs without printing anything on the
console. I have also compiled dosemu 0.99.13 and 0.98.8 and got the same
results when I tested them.
Is this a known problem with dosemu and booting from floppy and is their
a solution for this problem ?

Bye,
Henning

Did you check /etc/dosemu.conf to maker sure that your floppy drive is
configured correctly?
