Bochs Tutorial (windows98se)
Bochs Tutorial (windows98se)
Hey guys, I followed the tutorial for running bochs every step and it works great. The virtual pc window opens but it gives me "Fatal: Could not read the boot disk". I assume this is because of my crappy phillips drive that don't work.
Is there anyway I can install windows via an ISO? Could someone talk me through it? Thanks a bunch, I'm sure the guru nobspangle would be able to help me out.

Don't use bochs it's far far too slowBucko wrote:Hey guys, I followed the tutorial for running bochs every step and it works great. The virtual pc window opens but it gives me "Fatal: Could not read the boot disk". I assume this is because of my crappy phillips drive that don't work.

If you really must run windows Qemu is a much much better option a lot faster.
Bochs on my P4 2.4ghz performs like a slow 286, qemu performs like a 400mhz P2.
I got officeXP installed through crossover office on linux and performance was very good if it's just one application your after wine is probably the way forward.
Help I haven't got a clue, Linux scares me and I don't know what to double click. Where's My computer, I don't see any setup.exe and my device manager is plain missing.

Yer, I was thinking of somthing like making a virtual cd drive and as nobspangle said mount the image. How would I make a virtual cd drive in Linux, I use demon tools on windows doubt that could be used in Linux. Any idea, it would be faster than doing it through a network.I'm just guessing but you can probably just mount the CD over a network in /mnt/cdrom

just mount the iso as a loopback
Code: Select all
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/image.iso /mnt/cdrom
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?
Code: Select all
Xbox root # mount -t iso9660 -o loop /mnt/fatx/f/Win98/WIN98SE.img /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop2,
or too many mounted file systems
