Quick start

Fortunately a set of 1.2 MB install floppy disks of EUMEL’s x86 port has been preserved, see section artifacts_. It can be installed in any virtual machine emulating an IBM PC. In this example we’re using qemu.

  1. Create a 128 MB harddrive: qemu-img create root.img 128M
  2. Start the setup program: qemu-system-i386 -drive file=02_setup.img,if=floppy,format=raw -drive file=root.img,format=raw
  3. Create a new partition by pressing 1<return>, confirm with j and accept the following defaults with <return> or j.
  4. If the main screen is displayed again press 0<return> and confirm yet again with j to exit setup. The screen should now read “E N D E”.
  5. Quit qemu and restart it with the third floppy disk. The bootloader complains that “HG ungueltig”.
  6. Press any key followed by 2 and a confirmation with j. Reset the machine again.
  7. Now we have to set up the keyboard layout and time. Select “Kanal 1” with j, then press n until pc.1.25 is displayed and confirm. Disable “Kanal 2” and 15 with n and decline deleting those channels with n.
  8. Congratulations, a fully functional EUMEL is now running in your virtual machine! For the next steps head over to [praxis1]_.
