QEMU Win98 Feisty
Comments
* QEMU has to be started with sudo - otherwise you will not have network access.
* This network is the simple one ( -net nic -net user). I tried setting a Virtual Network Interface (eth0:0) and "lost" my KDE running application icons - yes, I reported the BUG.
* As usual, I stood on the shoulders of those who went before - thanks to all of you, scattered around the web.
* Take a copy of the win98.img file - you will have "seizures"
cp win98.img win98-1.img etc. etc.
Win98: Ctl-Alt-Delete to force a shutdown
Linux: Ctl-Alt-Backspace to force a log-off (Yes! You will need this, more than once).
Installation
sudo apt-get install qemu kqemu-common kqemu-source module-assistant
sudo module-assistant prepare
sudo module-assistant auto-install kqemu
# /etc/udev/rules.d/60-kqemu.rules
KERNEL=="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="kqemu"
# /etc/modprobe.d/kqemu
options kqemu major=0
# /etc/modules
kqemu
sudo addgroup --system kqemu
sudo adduser $USER kqemu
sudo adduser admin1 kqemu
sudo modprobe kqemu
ls -l /dev/kqemu
# --> crw-rw-rw- 1 root kqemu 10, 62 2007-06-28 15:32 /dev/kqemu
CD-ROM
You have look for and use the actual physical device otherwise you get the error message qemu: could not open hard disk image '/media/cdrom0'
ls -l /dev/hd*
* In my system
cdrom0 = /dev/hdd
cdrom1 = /dev/hdc
Create Win98 Image
Prepare the qemu-dummy.iso
This is used instead of an actual CD-ROM later in the installation - prepare it now. It is normally used to save having to actually mount a CDROM - but can be changed to an real CDROM
1. Create a dummy directory with ... mkdir /home/dummy
2. Create an explanation text file, save as ... /home/dummy/dummy.txt
3. Win98 starts with IE5 - this is broken! Download and save ie6setup.exe
* Download Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 into the dummy directory from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
4. Create a qemu-dummy.iso with ... mkisofs -v -J -r -o /home/qemu-dummy.iso /home/dummy
Win98 Install
cd /home
qemu-img create -f qcow win98.img 2G # create a variable size image
# qemu-img create win98-0.img 2G # create a fixed size image if you want to mount the image
sudo chmod 666 win98.img
sudo qemu -boot d -cdrom /dev/hdd -m 256 -localtime -usb -hda win98.img
* Install the O/S as normal
* Blue screen of death, after the driver re-boot - re-start from HDD, keeping CD in drive
o qemu -boot c -cdrom /dev/hdd -m 256 -localtime -usb -hda /home/win98.img
* Copy the d:/win98 directory into the "hard drive" for Win98 updates, etc.
Win98 BIOS
The Device Manager will highlight BIOS Plug-and-Play (FaileSafe) - this is the wrong driver. You have to install the "PCI Bus"
Your PC will probably stall - do a Ctl-Alt-Backspace and re-logon
1. Click and re-install BIOS
2. Show a list of drivers
* (*) Show hardware drivers
3. Select PCI bus (Win98 will complain, that's OK) and install
4. Restart QEMU
* qemu -boot c -cdrom /dev/hdd -m 256 -localtime -usb -hda /home/win98.img
* Win98: In safe-mode
* Win98: Ctl-Alt-Delete [Shutdown]
5. Restart QEMU
* qemu -boot c -cdrom /dev/hdd -m 256 -localtime -usb -hda /home/win98.img
* Win98: The devices will continue to install
* Win98: another re-boot
* Win98: ipconfig will now show an Ethernet connection
Win98 Internet
Win98 only has IE5, which is broken. Now we setup the LAN connection and upgrade to IE6
1. Restart QEMU
* sudo qemu -boot c -cdrom /home/qemu-dummy.iso -localtime -m 256 -usb -hda /home/win98.img
2. Set Internet Connections
* I connect through a local LAN
* When [Finish] is clicked, IE5 will attempt to start - KILL immediatly
3. Restart QEMU
* sudo qemu -boot c -cdrom /home/qemu-dummy.iso -localtime -m 256 -usb -hda /home/win98.img
4. Install ie6setup.exe from DOS d:\ie6setup.exe - takes a long while.
Win98 Update
IE6 Windows Update can now be used
1. Personalize to remove Other Languages updates
2. Security Updates
3. Small updates
4. Big, individual updates
* MediaPlayer (no re-boot required)
* DirectX, etc.
Once completed - copy this image to a safe place - this will be your base for adding other products, etc. Or, removing unwanted products.
Console
* Press Ctrl+Alt to allow mouse to exit screen:
* Press Ctrl+Alt+2 to go to console
* Press Ctrl+Alt+1 to go to windows
* Press Ctrl+Alt+F to toggle fullscreen
ctl-alt-2
(qemu) info kqemu
(qemu) kqemu support: enabled for user and kernel code
(qemu) info network

Change CDROM
(qemu) eject cdrom
(qemu) change cdrom /dev/hdd
QEMU Launcher
I tried it - but nothing happened. I think it was because sudo is needed. I'm still working on this part.Comment
