i have a hunch it (the looping of the winnt installer copying the files) has
something to do with the winnt itself trying to reboot the pc, which (in
this case) is the dosemu
the reasons i think it does this are
1. when looking at the screen there is a short moment were you see the
doit.bat commands flashing over the screen, up to the winnt.exe blablabla
2. when putting either a pause or a exitemu command after the
winnt.exestuff, these are ignored...
so the question is: can we stop the winnt installer from automatically
rebooting the system? if not, is there no switch to the dosemu.bin that
prohibits rebooting the emulator? If both are impossible, we could
a) switch to nt5x-install permanently, which should solve these problems
anyway since it doesnt call winnt but copies the files itself and installs
the correct mbr and other files to start the install process
b) customize ('hack') dosemu so a reboot of the emulator exits the emulator
process...
