Setup & Installation / Re: OS/4 Kernel and QSINIT - some more Questions
« on: September 28, 2014, 10:50:13 am »1. I wanted to add switches like "ALT+F2" and "ALT+F4" to the lines in os2loader.ini as arguments -> is this possible and do I have to use quotes? I tried it just like this:ALTF2 - without space. In OS/4 archive there is a file "os2ldr.read.me" - QSINIT share all these options with OS/4.
os2krnl=OS/2 Kernel 106W4, cfgext=104, ALT+F2
but it does not react. During boot it shows something like "cannot find the argument -> "

2. In the "F9" apps menue there is the funciton "Diskmenue". After a short while I get used to it - is FAT32 the only option to "Format" a partition or what is needed to have the possibility to use HPFS or/and JFS instead?Format is self-implemented - I can`t call OS/2 version of format utilites So it format partition to FAT/FAT32 (depends on size).
I'm thinking about HPFS format, but this still too complex task. Any way, this is not a large problem, because no access to HPFS volumes (loader is able only read files from the root directory).
FAT/FAT32 - can be created, written, xcopy-ied and so on - so acts as target for temporary storage, for example. When I tried to move huge amount of files between 2 FAT32 partitions - it was faster, than in our famous FAT32.IFS
