And to answer my earlier post, what I did was ignore the garbage printed on the screen, and just type blind the commands to fdisk and format the virtual disk, and to start the win95 intaller, and guess what? It worked. So, now I have win95 on a virtual disk using moused, the floppy, and the CDrom. Now on to networking. Here is the config: #!/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware config.version = 2 # CD-ROM ide1:0.present = TRUE ide1:0.fileName = "/dev/acd0c" ide1:0.deviceType = atapi-cdrom ide1:0.startConnected = TRUE # Virtual hard disk on primary master ide0:0.present = TRUE ide0:0.fileName = /home/bwithrow/vmware/win95/win95.dsk ide0:0.deviceType = ata-hardDisk ide0:0.mode = persistent # Floppy floppy0.fileType = "device" floppy0.present = TRUE floppy0.fileName = "/dev/fd0" floppy0.startConnected = FALSE # Mouse mouse.hostType = "PS/2" mouse.fileName = "/dev/mouse" # Networked to host only subnet ethernet0.present = TRUE ethernet0.connectionType = hostOnly # Memory size memsize = 48 # Nvram nvram = /home/bwithrow/vmware/win95/win95.nvram # Log file log.fileName = /home/bwithrow/vmware/win95/win95.log # Hints guestOS = win95 -- Robert Withrow -- (+1 978 288 8256) BWithrow@BayNetworks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
