Hi. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I have read both the
dosemu how-to and the README.txt that came with dosemu, have
searched for useful webpages as well as old Usenet posts, and
have looked on the archives to this mailing list, without luck.
I am using dosemu 1.0.2 under Debian 3.0 (woody), except with the
2.2.19pre17 kernel. I have a partition in which Windows 98/SE is
installed; I wish to use dosemu with the dos there. I have
configured my /etc/dosemu.conf to boot from a directory into
which I've linked command.com, io.sys, msdos.sys, and the windows
subdir from the mounted vfat partition where 98/SE sits.
dosemu boots ok; but anything requiring a write fails, and dos
commands (e.g. mkdir) that write to that disk fail as well. It
appears that write access is not enabled. For example, a
command like "copy foo bar" yields an error message of "Access
denied - bar". Also, piping dir output through more yields
"Intermediate file error during pipe", and mkdir gives "Unable
to create directory". So it looks like the dos in a box doesn't
have write access to the mounted filesystem.
I've tried everything I can think of with this. I mount the
partition read/write, umask=000, but no good. I've also tried
setting uid and gid in the mount command to correspond to the
user running dosemu. Still no luck.
Can anyone point me to something I can use to figure this out?
I'm sure I've missed something obvious; but I've spent enough
time on it on this point that I doubt I'm gonna find it. So
any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks for any help.
