I've had the same problem. If I try to boot to a Win98 Command prompt from a floppy it hangs right before the prompt would come up (but after processing config.sys and at least part of autoexec.bat). I don't know what the cause is, and I haven't found a fix, but there are workarounds. The most convenient one is to boot from a CD. If you don't have a suitable CD and don't know how to make one, e-mail me off the list. If you are desperate and have a lot of time on your hands you should be able to boot to a command prompt from a "real" partition on your hard drive if such a partition exists and has the boot files on it. I'd love to find out why the floppy boot fails, though.

The primary partition. It is working great =) But somehow vmware also refuses to boot from there. I am sure everything must be correct. I made this before with windows ME and it was booting fine. My friend couldn't boot win98 also and he could boot win2000 Is there a real workaround? I would want to use FreeBSD instead of Windows but I have a few programs here which I would like to use and they work on Windows only so... =( Evren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-emulation Wed Jun 5 22:57: 8 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Received: from bessel.tekniikka.turkuamk.fi (bessel.tekniikka.turkuamk.fi [193.166.133.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C54FB37B400 for ; Wed, 5 Jun 2002 22:57:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (eyurtese@localhost) by bessel.tekniikka.turkuamk.fi (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id IAA109000; Thu, 6 Jun 2002 08:56:55 +0300 Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 08:56:55 +0300 (WET) From: Evren Yurtesen To: Randy Bush Cc: John Nielsen , freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Subject: Re: vmware and win98 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org how can I know that? =) On Wed, 5 Jun 2002, Randy Bush wrote: > > I've had the same problem.
