Hi everyone,
For a little background, I seem to have missed a golden age of computing. I would like to at least experience the operating system side of that golden age by trying out OS/2. Boy, am I getting the full tour! :P
I'll start off by saying that I'm trying to install Warp 4 into a virtualbox machine. I've tried posting in their forums, although I'm told that there aren't enough OS/2 pros there to help with the issue(s), so I'm hoping that my issues are generic enough that they don't just apply to virtualbox.
I am able to boot all the way up the second (third?) installation diskette. After pressing enter to continue past the copyright/operating system information, I'm presented with an error looking like this:
After pressing enter to end this program, my screen turns red, with the following error message:
I'm not exactly sure *what* the target drive is here. All I know is that I was able to format my C: drive from the installation environment, and I'm able to copy files to it manually, so it seems like the drive is responding normally.
In case it was a driver issue, I installed Steven's danis506r187 drivers, along with his ATAPI v. 0.4.0 filter driver, which doesn't seem to fix my issue.
I have 64MB of ram allocated to this machine, and the IDE controller is emulated as PIIX3.
If anyone could help, that would be great.
