(You might notice that the clock in the lower-right is running in UTC time.) (DOS is case insensitive and the current directory is already C:\ so autoexec.bat is the same file.) Since it loaded no drivers, you might as well load the mouse driver. If necessary, close QEMU and restart it again (with qemu -fda a.fd -hda c.hd), then choose option 3 when booting. You can bypass AUTOEXEC.BAT by choosing "3 - Load FreeDOS without drivers" from the boot menu. Unfortunately, now if you boot the system, AUTOEXEC.BAT might crash the QEMU emulator on a MODE command. Now start QEMU again, but this time put the disk image a.fd into drive A while leaving out the CD: The best way to fix this is to close QEMU.

(The FreeDOS installer uses drive A for something else, which is why you had to install onto drive C.) Then it stupidly fails to find the system on drive C the Command Interpreter is at A:\COMMAND.COM now. The FreeDOS kernel sees that there are no disks before C and moves drive C to drive A. This is a unique problem caused by running FreeDOS in an emulator instead of a hard disk. However, in this QEMU configuration, any attempt to boot the hard disk will stop at the following screen: This error involving MODE.COM does not prevent your FreeDOS install from working.Īllow the installation and the post-installation steps to finish.Īfter the installation, the installer will reboot your computer. If it stops at an error like the following: Now allow the FreeDOS installer to proceed. Just press Escape.įor the install location, enter C:\FDOS so that the screen looks like this: (Optionally, you could adjust the other settings.)Įventually you will reach the "DETAILED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS". Then choose option 1, "Start installation of FreeDOS beta9". If you choose option 0 or wait 5 seconds, the installer will proceed to install FreeDOS from the CD.įrom the menu, choose option 1 to "Configure FreeDOS installation settings". (One can put files in C:\ now.) The installer now begins. Answer YES.Īt this point, FreeDOS formats drive C. Now that drive C has a partition, you must still format the disk, which creates a FAT filesystem on it. The system will reboot.Īs before, choose option 1 (twice) to boot FreeDOS Setup and Load XMSDriver. Now that your disk has a partition for drive C, press Escape twice to exit FDISK. (The partition that you install FreeDOS onto must be active so that it boots.) The easiest thing to do now is to say "Y" to make one large partition. If you want more, then you would create three primary partitions and one extended partition, then add logical drives to the extended partition.) (FDISK supports up to four primary partitions. (You must use FDISK to create a partition for drive C before you can create a filesystem.)ĭo you want to use large disk (FAT32) support (Y/N).?Ĭhoose option 1 for the "Primary DOS Partition". Now our new "c.hd" has no data on it, so FreeDOS correctly suspects that you need to format the disk. Just press ENTER or choose option 1 (again) to pick the "Load XMSdriver" option and continue booting. Just press ENTER or choose option 1 to start booting the CD. $ qemu -hda c.hd -cdrom fdbootcd.iso -boot d Now use QEMU to boot the CD for installing FreeDOS onto drive C. (One hundred megabytes, 100M, should be plenty for drive C, but you can use more or less if you want.) From the command line, cd into the directory with your fdbootcd.iso, and use the following commands:Īfter cd to the directory with fdbootcd.isoįormating 'c.hd', fmt=raw, size=1048576 kB Now we need to create drive A and drive C for FreeDOS.
