- To get all of this running I had to create a boot image. IBM tech support has a
- 14 page FAX on this topic titled: "VMB" (virtual machine boot). It is also
- covered in volume 2, chapter 12 of the OS/2 redbooks (order # GG24-3731-00).
-
- In my virtual session, I an running: dxma0mod.sys, dxmc0mod.sys, dxmt0mod.sys
- though config.sys, and ipx, route, and net5 through the autoexec.bat.
-
- All of this ran in a standard DOS box; however, after running net5, I still
- could not see the network login drive. Copying the standard programs such as
- login.exe, map.exe and others to my local drive enabled me to login into the
- network and access my "home" directories, but I could still not see the rest of
- the network, even though slist showed all of the servers. Thus I resorted to
- creating a boot image of a specific DOS version.
