Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get win98 on partition one of my
hard-drive ( > 500MB - about 2 GB, actually) booting under Plex under Linux
(Slack 7.1, +/-) - and I know that's at least 3 unsupported things, but it is a
useful configuration and, hey, it's about time, you know. Anyhoo, I used the
following conf file (win98 in the tarball I uploaded - oops!):

When I ran Plex, I got the
following:

- Processing config file ../conf/win98...
- Allocating 16MB of physical memory in VM

monitor

The "::fetchDecode..." and "#UD:..." pair of lines continue forever. (I did
have an Elpin Bios screen up at the time, though).
Hmm... 46E8, 102 and 4AE8 aren't mapped on my (physical) system and 3Cx
looks like VGA to me, so I probably am not getting out of the Bios...
I'll be looking into this and will post progress. Meanwhile, any
suggestions welcome...
