Re: [Freedos-devel] FD13LIVE.ISO: does not install on a new (unpartitioned) disk

[Jerome Shidel]

Hi,

Thanks for the report. 

This issue was also reported on the bug tracker. However, I think it was 
discovered very soon after the 1.3RC3 CD release during the final stages of the 
Floppy Only version. This caused updates to the logic for both the CD/USB 
installer and the Floppy Only version. When released, 1.3-RC4 should not 
exhibit the issue.

Thanks again,

Jerome

[Freedos-devel] FD13LIVE.ISO: does not install on a new (unpartitioned) disk

[Paul Dufresne via Freedos-devel]

Hi! I have tried 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/distributions/1.3/previews/1.3-rc3/FD13-LiveCD.zip

with qemu, and I have come to the conclusion that I cannot install (with 
install from the main menu, or with setup.exe in live mode)

on a newly created disk image.



I use qcow2 format, because it begin as a small disk image file on the host, 
where raw is directly the size specified.

qemu-img create -f qcow2 hd.qcow2 1G 

qemu-system-i386 -m 20M --cdrom FD13LIVE.ISO --drive file=hd.q
cow2,format=qcow2,media=disk -boot d --enable-kvm
 


-boot d

boot the cdrom

-boot c

boot the hard drive



But I have seen that if I install FreeDOS 1.2 on the image, before installing 
FreeDOS 1.3, then FreeDOS 1.3 install fine.



In fact, I just tested that 'fdisk', rebooting, then install, works fine.

I get a strange message (c: should start with - or / ) when doing 'fdisk c:' 
... it is wrong?



Hum... I did choose french during installation... and now see I have a French 
keyboard... logical but as I am french canadian, I try:

keyb us... it shows keyboard config change to US but still get AZERTY keyboard!___
