[Qemu-devel] nt4 installation

[Bob Barry]

Every morning I update qemu via cvs, configure/make/make install, and try to 
install win-nt4.

Attempting to install from floppy images behaves the same with c: partitioned 
and unformatted, or partitioned
and formatted: installation fails after installation of second floppy - 
installer copies some files then stops with
BSOD:

   1 System Processor [32 MB Memory] MultiProcessor Kernel

   *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80480ED0,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x00000000)
   INADDESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

   CPUID:GenuineIntel 6.1.3 irql:0  SYSVER 0xf0000565

etc, etc (I'll send the rest if anyone can make sense of it.)

With hda partioned and formatted for dos using a win98 rescue disk, attempting 
to install nt4 from CD
shows "Welcome to Setup" screen, <enter> shows mass storage selection screen, 
<enter> shows:

   Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

   Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected
   to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is
   correct.  This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic
   or setup program.

   Setup cannot continue.  Press F3 to exit.

F3 and <enter> exits (no BSOD).

For floppy installation, qemu (softmmu) is invoked with:
sudo qemu -m 32 -fda nt4setup1.img -hda /image/nt4progs.img -cdrom 
/image/nt4.iso -boot a

For CD installation, qemu (softmmu) is invoked with:
sudo qemu -m 32 -pci -hda /image/nt4progs.img -cdrom /image/nt4.iso -boot d

MSDOS, Freedos, Linux, and Win98se all install and run normally.

Has anyone got nt4 running on qemu?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Bob Barry
