- Hi Folks,
-
- Brian Landy sent this workaround to me earlier today. I haven't been
- able to verify that it works because we don't yet have OS/2 running
- anywhere, although Steve Sinnott and Brian Landy are giving me
- pointers.
-
- Hi,
- First, the workaround. I just thought of it this morning. Use the boot
- from drive A Dos prompt icon. Better yet, make a virtual disk image.
- Anyway, this is the method which sets up a real copy of Dos in an OS/2 VDM.
- I ran my image of a DOS 6.22 bootdisk, and Executor ran flawlessly. Here
- are the autoexec.bat and config.sys on that disk image:
-
- config.sys
- ----------
- rem The following OS/2 supplied driver must be on the boot disk.
- rem It gives access to OS/2 HPFS hard drives.
- device=fsfilter.sys
- rem The next 2 are the special OS/2 versions, necessary for XMS, EMS
- DEVICE=e:\OS2\MDOS\HIMEM.SYS
- device=e:\os2\mdos\emm386.sys
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
- FILES=40
- BUFFERS=30,0
- LASTDRIVE=Z
- FCBS=16,8
- STACKS=9,256
- SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /p /e:310
-
- autoexec.bat
- ------------
- @echo off
- prompt $p$g
- path=c:\dos;a:\;e:\os2;e:\os2\mdos;e:\os2\system;f:\dosutils;e:\;c:\WINDOWS;
- c:\winos2\dll;c:\drivers\viper;c:\win32s11;f:\tcpip\dos\etc;f:\tcpip\dos\bin
- SET TMP=f:\temp
- SET TEMP=f:\temp
- set ETC=f:\tcpip\dos\etc
- set viperpath=c:\drivers\viper
- SET DIRCMD=/O:GEN
- set blaster=A220 D1 I5 T3
-
- set comspec=a:\command.com
- lh e:\os2\mdos\mouse.com
- lh c:\dos\doskey
- rem This final OS/2 driver switches the real floppy drive from a to be
- rem letter h, because the disk image will boot as drive a.
- fsaccess h=a
-
- To make a disk image, look up vmdisk in the Command Reference. Anyway, this
- works, Executor runs.
