Re: Help with DOSEMU

[Rajesh Fowkar <rfowkar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Saurabh,

I also faced the same problem. But  one of our friends on this list Raj Mathur
helped me and I am now able to run dosemu and even access my windows partition.

Below is his reply.
Hope it helps.

Rajesh



Hi Rajesh,

You probably need to get DosEmu to boot off your primary MS-DOS drive
instead of the built-in drive emulation file of DosEmu.

I have the following lines in /etc/dosemu.conf (note: my DOS drive is
/dev/hda2):

#disk { image "/var/lib/dosemu/hdimage" }          # use diskimage file.
disk { partition "/dev/hda2" }

I've commented out the primary disk (hdimage, which is basically a DOS 
disk image in Linux) and enabled the primary native DOS disk.

If you have WinXX on your primary drive you will have to use F8 or one 
of those keys to ensure that you don't try to boot into Winduhs by
mistake.

I've used DosEmu a bit, and am quite happy with it's emulation.

Hope this helps,

- -- Raju
