Hello,

I created an image img of a hd of 600MB with bximage, and would like to install it a msdos on the hdd image. How could I do so ?

Code:

1.	Create a new directory for the Minix installation:

	$ mkdir minix
	$ cd minix

2.	Create a new hard disk file for Minix, for which you must use 
	the 'bximage' program (included with Bochs). The listing below 
	shows my input for bximage where I create an 80 Mb hard disk 
	file: 

	$ bximage
	...
	Please type hd or fd. [hd] <enter>
	Please type flat, sparse or growing. [flat] <enter>
	Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 32255
	[10] 80
	What should I name the image?
	[c.img] minix.img

	You'll need the cyl, heads and sectors per track numbers in step 
	4 so be sure to write them down somewhere (for an 80 Mb hard 
	disk they are 162, 16 and 63).

with qemu, it might be possible:
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/QEMU

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the Universe apt repositories
2. sudo apt-get install qemu
3. mkdir ~/qemuImages
4. mkdir ~/qemuImages/FedoraCore1
5. cd ~/qemuImages/FedoraCore1
6. qemu-img create disk.img 20G
7. export SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0
8. qemu -boot -d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 512 disk.img
9. If your Fedora Core 1 CD is in the CD-ROM drive then qemu will boot the image and boot from the CD, then you can do the normal install routine. I did a "linux text" install. Mouse emulation was giving me problems, so I chose "No mouse."

Code:

 qemu -fda ~/bootdisk/Dos4.01.img  -hda windows98se.img  -boot a

qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -fda ~/bootdisk/Dos6.22.img -hda ~/qemu/windows.img -boot a
