6) Configuring Voodoo
We will set the voodoo output to opengl for now.Later in the installation, this
will allow us to utilize voodoo emulation using the real graphics card in your host
computer.
vodoo=opengl
7) Ready to execute!
It is time to start DosBox Daum.Locate the application and start it. You will be
met with a simple command prompt as shown in the next step.
Part II
9) Obtain a Copy of a Boot Disk
A boot disk is a recovery method. It also provides basic functionality for setting
up hard drives.The boot disk we will be using for our install is for DOS 6.22, and
can be located by following the link.
10) How to Make the Hard Disk
Start DosBox Daum and you will be met with the command prompt. The command we will
be using to create the virtual hard drive is called imgmake.If you type imgmake and
hit enter you will be presented with the syntax of the command if you want to
understand the proper formatting.
command imgmake display img commands
11) Make the Hard Disk Image
The proper syntax for imgmake is shown. imgmake (name).img -t hd -size (size) -nofs
Notice in our example, we are creating a 1 GB hard drive image.Please notice that
you can name the image whatever you would like. You may also vary the size as you
wish. However, FAT16 file system has a hard disk size limit of 2 GB, so you have no
reason to go larger (for the purposes of this guide).
command line:
imgmake -name.img -t (type) hd (hardrive) -size 1024 (1024=1gb) -nofs
(nofilesistem)
NOTICE: Please be aware that the cylinder head and sector counts are important. You
should make a note of these as you need to know what they are.
12) Verify the Disk Image
Once the program has finished creating the disk image will be created and located
in your DosBox root folder (with the executable) unless otherwise specified.NOTICE:
Please be aware that the cylinder head and sector counts are important. You should
make a note of these as you need to know what they are.
13) The Boot Disk
We will now extract the boot disk you downloaded previously into the same root
folder as your DosBox executable and presumably your virtual hard drive.It should
be named 622c.ima or 622c.img as shown in the screen-shot. You will of course want
to have it unzipped into the folder.
14) Bringing it Together
It is time to adjust our config file for ease of use. If you need help remembering
how to do this please see part 1 of this guide.You should add the lines shown to
the autoexec section at the bottom of the config file. Be aware that the size and
name of your hard drive are important. Particularly the -size parameter. The
parameter should be entered as: -size 512,(sectors),(heads),(cylinders)
comand lines in [autoexe]
imgmount 0 622c.img -t floppy -fs none
imgmount 2 windows95.img -size 512,63,64,520 -t hdd -fs none
where / -size 512(sectors),(heads),(cylinders)
