- I have installed Windows NT on the D: drive of an IBM PS/2 Model 70
- using the dos2nt utility. The CD was installed in an IBM RS/6000 cd-rom
- device and mounted with the following command (actually via smit)
-
- mount -v'cdrfs' -r'' /dev/cd0 /nt
-
- The /nt directory was exported by the RS/6000 and mounted as Drive E:
- on the PS/2 via PC-NFS 4.0.
-
- The following commands were then issued from the PS/2
-
- cd e:\dos2nt
- dos2nt d:
-
- This appeared to be succesful and installed the Windows NT into the
- d:\winnt and d:\mstools. I then performed the steps 3-6 outlined in
- Section 2.2 (Alternate Installation - DOS2NT) of the July 1992 hardcopy
- release notes modifying the registry.ini, boot.ini, hal.dll and
- d:\winnt\system\config\system to conform to the above setup.
-
- Step 7 (Create Registry) states to reboot the system, when I do I get
- the following error message
-
- BOOT: Couldn't find NTLDR
- Please insert another disk
-
- The appendix of the release notes does not mention this problem, I am
- able to boot into dos after booting from an MS-DOS floppy and issuing the
- command 'sys c' which replaces the Flexboot with the MS-DOS boot sector.
-
-
- Anyone have a work around or a solution for this problem ?
-
-
- Thanks
