    Heute nach der Physiotherapie etwas mit OS/2 respektive ArcaOS gespielt.

    Der Gopher-Client, den ich aus OS/2 Warp 4 kopiert habe, funktioniert nun auch unter ArcaOS 5 (das den Gopher-Client nicht selbst mitbringt). Allerdings ist er von 1996 und unterstützt nicht alle Features moderner Gopher-Server.

    Und ich habe endlich Lynx unter ArcaOS zum Laufen bekommen. Der ist zwar auch schon von 2016, unterstützt aber alle neuen Gopher-Features. Nur die Installation ist etwas aufwendiger, weil es ein Linux-Port ist.

    B-right/V R4.5 (JP) on 86Box with Socket 7 (Dual Voltage) [1996]

    TRON (The Real-time Operating system Nucleus) is one of the real-time operating systems that was started by Ken Sakamura of the University of Tokyo in 1984, and its mission is to create an ideal computer architecture and network to provide for all needs. BTRON (Business TRON) was responsible for operating system functions and was one of the sub-projects for TRON.

    Fast forward, B-right/V OS version 4.5 was officially released in 2006 to provide you with a real-time operating system on most i386-compatible computers. There were efforts to get it working under QEMU and virtual machines as seen here.

    Our focus in this article is testing B-right/V R4.5 (JP) on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Dual Voltage) [1996] motherboard. You can download the installation media for B-right/V R4.5 here. Using 7-Zip, you must extract one of the following files:

    • Boot-1.44M.img under [BOOT]
    • bright00 under BRIGHT as bright00.img

    We have used Boot-1.44M.img as a floppy disk for the installation media, but bright00 should work, too. However, don’t use bright01 as it only leads to a boot error.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1996] Socket 7 (Dual Voltage)
    • Machine: [ALi ALADDiN IV+] Biostar M5ATA
    • CPU: Intel Pentium @ 90 MHz
    • Memory: 32 MB
    • Video: [PCI] S3 Vision968 (Number 9 9FX 771)
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: PS/2 Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: Internal device
    • New hard disk: BRIGHTV4500-JP.vhd
      • C/H/S: 2080/16/63
      • Size: 1024 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image you’ve extracted, then insert the BRIGHTV4500.iso file to the CD-ROM drive.

    Let the operating system start to the installation program.

    You should see a single disk that has the size you requested. In our case, it’s 1022 MB. Click on the System Registration button at the right.

    Leave the settings as they are, and press Create at the right side of the green dialog box.

    Confirm the creation by pressing Create, again at the right. You’ll then get asked if you want a complete installation or a minimal system. We’ve chosen to install everything. Click on Register at the right side.

    Specify how you want the disk to be formatted using either a long format (right option) or a quick format (middle option). We’ve decided to use quick format.

    Afterwards, the installation begins.

    You’ll be taken back to the partitioning screen, but, this time, you should see B-right+ and Startup beneath it.

    Click on OS Boot Menu Registration at the bottom left side of the screen. You’ll get asked if you want to install or uninstall the boot menu. Since we’re installing B-right/V, we’ve chosen to install the boot menu. In this case, just click on Continue at the right.

    You’ll get asked to confirm your decision in case you have boot managers installed. Since we don’t have any boot manager, such as System Commander by VCOM, click on Continue.

    The boot menu installation is now complete. Now, click on Finish at the top of the partitioning window, and you should see a message asking you to remove a CD-ROM. 86Box automatically ejects the CD-ROM, but you’ll have to manually eject the boot floppy, too.

    Click on OK, and the system restarts. Let B-right/V start up.

    A window then shows up, asking you to configure your system for the Kana keyboard layout for the first time boot. Choose whether you’re familiar with BTRON keyboard layout or the Windows keyboard layout. We’ve chosen to use the Windows keyboard layout.

    Then, you’ll get asked to select whether you want to use Kana or not.

    Then, you’ll get asked for the keyboard operation method, whether you’re familiar with Windows, or if you’d like to try out the BTRON method. Finally, the setup is complete.

    Click Finish, and B-right/V is now fully configured, ready for use!

    IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue on 86Box with Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995]

    OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 was officially released on October 1994, and it comes in two flavors: Blue Spine which contains WIN-OS/2, and Red Spine that doesn’t contain this feature.

    Our focus in this article is testing IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue with WIN-OS/2 on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1995] Socket 7 (Single Voltage)
    • Machine: [i430FX] ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE
    • CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive @ 150 MHz
    • Memory: 32 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [PCI] IDE Controller
    • SCSI controller 1: [ISA16] Adaptec AHA-154xB
      • Address: 0x334
      • IRQ: 11
      • DMA: 6
      • Host ID: 7
      • BIOS address: C800H
    • New hard disk: os2warp3blue.vhd
      • C/H/S: 2080/16/63
      • Size: 1024 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0
    • CD-ROM drive 1: [SCSI-2] PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32TS 1.03 (32x)

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called Disk0.img. Then, insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM (Installation.iso) to the CD-ROM drive.

    Configure the BIOS by loading the ROM defaults and by changing the boot order so that floppy comes first, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the IBM logo where you are asked to insert the first diskette, which is Disk1.img.

    Then, let the system start.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions by choosing Easy Installation. You can also try Advanced Installation, though we haven’t used it in this experiment.

    Then, the installer will ask us to insert back the boot floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the formatting part begins, and the base system files get copied to the hard disk. Afterwards, it will ask you to reboot.

    Remove any floppy disk from the floppy drive, then press ENTER so that you’ll be taken to the device configuration screen. Leave everything as it is, and press OK. Then, press OK when Do Not Install Default Printer is selected.

    You’ll be asked if you want to install networking support. Since we don’t intend to have networking support, and the operating system is old anyway, we’ve decided against installing network support.

    Afterwards, the installation begins until it asks you to reboot the computer as the installation completes. You may get asked for WIN-OS/2 configuration.

    Press OK, and you should see this:

    You’ll be taken to the OS/2 Tutorial window. Once you exit it, the desktop should finally appear. At this point, the installation is successful!

    In the Blue Spine edition, you’ll notice additional folders that are related to WIN-OS/2. We ran Program Manager from the OS/2 system itself.

    IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue on 86Box with Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995]

    OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 was officially released on October 1994, and it comes in two flavors: Blue Spine which contains WIN-OS/2, and Red Spine that doesn’t contain this feature.

    Our focus in this article is testing IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0 Blue with WIN-OS/2 on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1995] Socket 7 (Single Voltage)
    • Machine: [i430FX] ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE
    • CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive @ 150 MHz
    • Memory: 32 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [PCI] IDE Controller
    • SCSI controller 1: [ISA16] Adaptec AHA-154xB
      • Address: 0x334
      • IRQ: 11
      • DMA: 6
      • Host ID: 7
      • BIOS address: C800H
    • New hard disk: os2warp3blue.vhd
      • C/H/S: 2080/16/63
      • Size: 1024 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0
    • CD-ROM drive 1: [SCSI-2] PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32TS 1.03 (32x)

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called Disk0.img. Then, insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM (Installation.iso) to the CD-ROM drive.

    Configure the BIOS by loading the ROM defaults and by changing the boot order so that floppy comes first, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the IBM logo where you are asked to insert the first diskette, which is Disk1.img.

    Then, let the system start.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions by choosing Easy Installation. You can also try Advanced Installation, though we haven’t used it in this experiment.

    Then, the installer will ask us to insert back the boot floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the formatting part begins, and the base system files get copied to the hard disk. Afterwards, it will ask you to reboot.

    Remove any floppy disk from the floppy drive, then press ENTER so that you’ll be taken to the device configuration screen. Leave everything as it is, and press OK. Then, press OK when Do Not Install Default Printer is selected.

    You’ll be asked if you want to install networking support. Since we don’t intend to have networking support, and the operating system is old anyway, we’ve decided against installing network support.

    Afterwards, the installation begins until it asks you to reboot the computer as the installation completes. You may get asked for WIN-OS/2 configuration.

    Press OK, and you should see this:

    You’ll be taken to the OS/2 Tutorial window. Once you exit it, the desktop should finally appear. At this point, the installation is successful!

In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    IBM OS/2 Warp 2.11 was officially released on February 1994 to introduce symmetrical multiprocessing.

    Our focus in this article is testing IBM OS/2 Warp 2.11 on an 86Box emulated machine with an Socket 7 (Single Voltage) [1995] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1995] Socket 7 (Single Voltage)
    • Machine: [i430FX] ASUS P/I-P55TP4XE
    • CPU: Intel Pentium OverDrive @ 150 MHz
    • Memory: 32 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [PCI] IDE Controller
    • SCSI controller 1: [ISA16] Adaptec AHA-154xB
      • Address: 0x334
      • IRQ: 11
      • DMA: 6
      • Host ID: 7
      • BIOS address: C800H
    • New hard disk: os2warp211.vhd
      • C/H/S: 2080/16/63
      • Size: 1024 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0
    • CD-ROM drive 1: [SCSI-2] PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-32TS 1.03 (32x)

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called Boot Floppy 1.img. Then, insert the OS/2 Warp CD-ROM (OS2_CD_ROM.CUE) to the CD-ROM drive.

    Configure the BIOS by loading the ROM defaults and by changing the boot order so that floppy comes first, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the IBM logo where you are asked to insert the first diskette, which is Boot Floppy 2.img.

    Then, let the system start.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions.

    Then, the installer will ask us to insert back the boot floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the formatting part begins after you accept the drive and select the file system. Afterwards, the installer will copy the base system parts to the hard disk before asking you to remove the floppy disk from the drive and press ENTER to restart again.

    Then, let it copy the base system files for installation.

    Remove any floppy disk from the floppy drive, then press ENTER so that you’ll be taken to the system configuration phase. Choose Install all features.

    You’ll be taken to the device configuration screen. Leave everything as it is, and press OK. Then, press OK when Do Not Install Default Printer is selected.

    You’ll be asked to confirm the installation.

    Afterwards, the installation begins.

    After that, configure WIN-OS/2 and migrate all Windows applications that were installed.

    The installer will then copy all remaining files, including the display adapter, and ask you to reboot the system.

    You’ll be taken to the OS/2 Tutorial window. Once you exit it, the desktop should finally appear. At this point, the installation is successful!

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 on 86Box with i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992]

    OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 was officially released on December 1990, and was the last version to be sold through Microsoft.

    Our focus in this article is testing Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 on an 86Box emulated machine with an i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images from the Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.x folder here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1992] i486 (Socket 168 and 1)
    • Machine: [CS4031] AMI 486 CS4031
    • CPU: Intel i486SX @ 16 MHz
    • Memory: 8 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [ISA16] PC/AT IDE Controller
    • New hard disk: msos2warp.vhd
      • C/H/S: 987/3/17
      • Size: 24 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called InstallA.img.

    Configure the BIOS by changing the BIOS settings like below, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the installation program, then go through the introductory screens.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions.

    Then, the installer will ask us to leave the installation floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the installer will ask you to insert the first diskette of the operating system, called Disk01.img.

    Next, the setup program asks you if you want to use HPFS or FAT. We’ve used HPFS in this experiment. The formatting process then starts right away.

    The installer then asks if you want to change the configuration of the base system. We have accepted the defaults.

    Setup then asks if you want to accept whatever display adapter the installer has detected, or if you need to change it. We kept it as default.

    Afterwards, the installer will ask you to select a mouse variant. Choose Microsoft Mouse, Serial Version (039-199 or 056-X99).

    Finally, accept the default configuration.

    Afterwards, the installation begins.

    After the files get copied from all the requested diskettes, the first thing it will ask you is if you want to install a printer. Since we don’t have a printer, we’ve answered “Do Not Install Default Printer” here.

    After the files get copied from all the requested diskettes, the first thing it will ask you is if you want to install “Driver Support” diskette files. Since we don’t have such diskette, we’ve answered No here.

    The installer will then ask you to remove a diskette from the floppy drive before you restart the virtual machine.

    You’ll be taken to the Program Manager GUI. At this point, the installation is successful!

    You’ll be taken to the Program Manager GUI. At this point, the installation is successful!

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 on 86Box with i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992]

    OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 was officially released on December 1990, and was the last version to be sold through Microsoft.

    Our focus in this article is testing Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.30 on an 86Box emulated machine with an i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images from the Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.x folder here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1992] i486 (Socket 168 and 1)
    • Machine: [CS4031] AMI 486 CS4031
    • CPU: Intel i486SX @ 16 MHz
    • Memory: 8 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [ISA16] PC/AT IDE Controller
    • New hard disk: msos2warp.vhd
      • C/H/S: 987/3/17
      • Size: 24 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called InstallA.img.

    Configure the BIOS by changing the BIOS settings like below, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the installation program, then go through the introductory screens.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions.

    Then, the installer will ask us to leave the installation floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the installer will ask you to insert the first diskette of the operating system, called Disk01.img.

    Next, the setup program asks you if you want to use HPFS or FAT. We’ve used HPFS in this experiment. The formatting process then starts right away.

    The installer then asks if you want to change the configuration of the base system. We have accepted the defaults.

    Setup then asks if you want to accept whatever display adapter the installer has detected, or if you need to change it. We kept it as default.

    Afterwards, the installer will ask you to select a mouse variant. Choose Microsoft Mouse, Serial Version (039-199 or 056-X99).

    Finally, accept the default configuration.

    Afterwards, the installation begins.

    After the files get copied from all the requested diskettes, the first thing it will ask you is if you want to install a printer. Since we don’t have a printer, we’ve answered “Do Not Install Default Printer” here.

    After the files get copied from all the requested diskettes, the first thing it will ask you is if you want to install “Driver Support” diskette files. Since we don’t have such diskette, we’ve answered No here.

    The installer will then ask you to remove a diskette from the floppy drive before you restart the virtual machine.

    You’ll be taken to the Program Manager GUI. At this point, the installation is successful!

    Next, the installer is going to ask you to select a country and a keyboard. If you want to change them, choose the second option. Otherwise, choose the first one. We have chosen the first option, which is to accept the changes.

    Afterwards, the installer will ask you to select a mouse variant. Choose Microsoft Mouse, Serial Version (039-199) (Grey/White Buttons).

    Next, add serial device support.

    Finally, accept the default configuration.

    Now, the installer will finalize the installation and ask you to remove any disk from the floppy drive. Then, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart the virtual machine.

    You’ll be taken to the Program Manager GUI. At this point, the installation is successful!

    • Hard disk controller 1: [ISA16] PC/AT IDE Controller
    • New hard disk: msos2warp.vhd
      • C/H/S: 987/3/17
      • Size: 24 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called install.img.

    Configure the BIOS by changing the BIOS settings like below, then immediately saving the changes and quitting the BIOS setup.

    Let the operating system start to the installation program, then go through the introductory screens.

    Then, let it pre-define the partitions.

    Then, the installer will ask us to leave the installation floppy disk and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the formatting part begins. Afterwards, the installer will copy the base system parts to the hard disk before asking you to remove the floppy disk from the drive and press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart again.

    Then, let it boot to the installer. It will ask you to insert the first diskette, disk01.img, for the operating system.

    Afterwards, the installation begins.

    After the files get copied from all the requested diskettes, the first thing it will ask you is if you want to install “Driver Support” diskette files. Since we don’t have such diskette, we’ve answered No here.

    Next, the installer is going to ask you to select a country and a keyboard. If you want to change them, choose the second option. Otherwise, choose the first one. We have chosen the first option, which is to accept the changes.

    Afterwards, the installer will ask you to select a mouse variant. Choose Microsoft Mouse, Serial Version (039-199) (Grey/White Buttons).

    Next, add serial device support.

    Finally, accept the default configuration.

    Now, the installer will finalize the installation and ask you to remove any disk from the floppy drive. Then, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart the virtual machine.

    You’ll be taken to the Program Manager GUI. At this point, the installation is successful!

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.10 on 86Box with i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992]

    OS/2 is a proprietary computer operating system that was initially developed jointly by IBM and Microsoft. However, a feud between two companies happened, and Microsoft ended up handing the development of OS/2 to IBM. In 1987, IBM OS/2 Warp has become official, and the last major version of OS/2 Warp was version 4, which was released in 1996. The development slowly halted as it couldn’t compete with Microsoft Windows.

    Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.10 was officially released on October 31st, 1988, and the rollout of the Program Manager GUI started.

    Our focus in this article is testing Microsoft OS/2 Warp 1.10 on an 86Box emulated machine with an i486 (Socket 168 and 1) [1992] motherboard. You can download the known working floppy boot images from the IBM OS/2 Warp 1.x folder here.

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1992] i486 (Socket 168 and 1)
    • Machine: [CS4031] AMI 486 CS4031
    • CPU: Intel i486SX @ 16 MHz
    • Memory: 8 MB
    • Video: [ISA] IBM VGA
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: [ISA16] PC/AT IDE Controller
    • New hard disk: msos2warp.vhd

    We’ve configured the virtual machine as follows:

    We’ve configured a virtual machine to run with:

    • Machine type: [1988] i386SX
    • Machine: [ACC 2036] Packard Bell PB300/PB320
    • CPU: Intel i386SX @ 16 MHz
    • Memory: 8 MB
    • Video: Internal device
    • Keyboard: AT Keyboard
    • Mouse: Microsoft Serial Mouse
    • Floppy disk controller: Internal device
    • Hard disk controller 1: Internal device

      • C/H/S: 987/3/17
      • Size: 24 MB
      • Bus: IDE
      • Channel: 0:0

    Once everything is configured as above, we can now start the virtual machine. Insert the boot floppy image called MSOS210-INSTALL.img. There have been two copies of Microsoft OS/2 1.00 floppy disk images: one which works with virtual machines, and one that is only meant for physical machines. Unfortunately, the latter copy was spread faster than the former one.

    Configure the BIOS by changing the configuration to look like below. Then, open the Menu, and press F4. You may have to do that twice.

    Let the operating system start to the installation program, then go through the introductory screens.

    The hardware overview then shows up. You should see that there is a single hard disk present.

    Then, let the installer run fdisk.

    Create the OS/2 primary partition using the default configuration. Then, when you’re taken back to the main screen, press 4 to verify that the partition table has been created properly. Then, exit fdisk, and press CTRL + ALT + DEL on the virtual machine to reboot.

    Once you press it in the virtual machine, the formatting part begins. Afterwards, the installer will ask you to press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart again.

    Afterwards, the available disk space should be updated to reflect the available disk space.

    Afterwards, the installation options show up. Since our scenario is about a fresh install, press 1.

    Afterwards, the installer will ask you to select a mouse variant. Choose Microsoft serial mouse attached to COM1.

    Next, select Other, none as the printer, and press ENTER.

    The installer again asks if you want to format the C: drive. This time, answer No, since we already did it.

    Now, the installation starts. Then, the installer will ask you to remove any disk from the floppy drive. Then, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart the virtual machine.

    After you restart the virtual machine, the installer will ask you to insert the program diskette, then the supplementary diskette.

    Then, let it boot.

    You’ll be taken to the command prompt. At this point, the installation is successful!
