I have been playing around with plex86 some time now.
Although performance is still to come I tried installing windows 95 osr2
on it.
So I enabled cdrom access, recompiled, booted from a floppy and ran
setup with scandisk and smartdrive disabled (setup /is /iq /C)
This didn't work, plex86 panics during the install.
I read somewhere in the documentation that this is normal for now and
that the only way to do it is by installing win95 using bochs and then
using this hardfile with plex86.
So I did the same procedure with bochs and windows did indeed install
and work.
But when I try to run the diskimage with plex86 it still crashes during
boot (I get the initial windows startup screen for a few minutes and
then crashes)
Any idee what the problem might be?
(I run plex86 on a redhat 7.0 linux host)
