- Has anyone gotten a fatal error 0x69 followed by a message to the effect of
- phase 1 - error initializing I/O? I tried setting up NT using DOS2NT
- and got this result the first time I tried booting NT. My setup and
- what I did is listed below.
-
- Setup:
- 486/50 ISA with 16Megs
- 213 meg IDE drive partioned as follows
- C 32 meg FAT
- extended partition:
- D 32 meg FAT
- E 32 meg FAT <- This is the drive I'm putting the swap file--
- it has 25 meg free
- F 9 meg FAT
- G 100 meg HPFS <- OS/2 2.0 is installed here, and is also where
- I installed NT
- OS/2 2.0 Boot manager - 1 Meg
- ATI 8514/A
- Twincom 9600 baud internal modem
- SCSI controller that comes with the NEC CDR-74
- IDE controller
-
- The process I followed was:
- Boot OS/2. Boot Dos 3.3 into a VDM and load SCSI driver and MSCDEX for
- my NEC CDR-74. Copy and edit DOS2NT so it doesn't play with boot sectors.
- Run DOS2NT to copy from CDROM to drive G. Edit registry.ini as per
- the setup notes. Reboot under dos. Change the active partition to C.
- Reboot. Run the part of DOS2NT that changes the boot sector. Edit boot.ini
- as per instructions. Reboot and select Windows NT. Bomb-- can't find
- NTOSKRNL.EXE. Played with boot.ini until I figured out that NT sees
- the HPFS partition as drive H (why?). Reboot OS/2 and edit registry.ini
- to reflect that. Reboot, and it starts loading a bunch of device driver,
- clears the screen, and gives me the fatal error 0x69. I looked at the
- release notes and couldn't find anything, so I decided to try the procedure
- on page 50 to change your configuration (delete and recopy the
- /winnt/system/config files, etc.) Still same problem. Any ideas?
