Hello,
I'm having trouble installing FreeDOS 1.2 with QEMU under Linux Mint 19.
My first attempt used the following:
qemu-img create dos.img 200M
qemu-system-i386 -m 16 -k en-us -rtc base=localtime -soundhw sb16,adlib -device cirrus-vga -hda dos.img -cdrom FD12CD.iso boot order=d
After a successful partition creation I accidentally ended the process.
The second command now always yields:
qemu-system-i386: -hda dos.img: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists
I try the following command:
qemu-system-i386 -drive format=raw,file=dos.img -cdrom FD12CD.iso
which gets me back into the installation once. I again create the partition, reboot
and get the following:
Booting from disk , Partition Signature ! 55AA and the install hangs.
At that point if I retry:
qemu-system-i386 -drive format=raw,file=dos.img -cdrom FD12CD.iso
I still receive Partition Signature ! 55AA
Fdisk dos.img yields
Disk dos.img: 200 MiB, 209715200 bytes, 409600 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
dos.img1 * 63 409247 409185 199.8M 6 FAT16
How do I get to format the drive if I can't get back into the installer?
I'm new to QEMU, so it may be something simple!
Thanks
