Hi all,

I'm trying to install OS/2 Warp 4 on VirtualBox (running under Windows Vista). But so far, I get a "TRAP C" after reading the second diskette when booting the first time.

I use "VirtualBox 2.0.6", which allows to set "OS/2 Warp 4" as a guest operating system. Has anyone tried it and got further than I did?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Andreas

Well, I actually *have* a bootmanager installed (AirBoot), so I don't want install OS/2's own Bootmanager in addition... Bad thing that OS/2 won't install just anywhere and let *me* care of how to boot it in the end...

Thanks to everybody! I will try to follow your instructions!

What I'm wondering right now:

Why does the Warp4 installation program give me no option to install OS/2 on the *primary* partition of the second hard drive? Is there a specific reason for that? That would overwrite my current OS/2 installation, but I wouldnt really mind that... just wondering...

Hello everybody,

since a hard disk crash I was away from OS/2 quite a long time. Now I realized that I still have a partition with OS/2 Warp 4 on it, which used to have the drive letter C:. Now, due to a new installation of my whole system, this drive letter changed to D:, since it is a primary partition on a second hard drive now. OS/2 starts to boot, but can't load any drivers since it always wants to access C:\OS2\BOOT\...

Is there a way to reanimate this old installation and tell OS/2 that it remains on drive D: now? A new installation seems not to be possible, the installation program gives me no option to install it on D:

Any help? For old time sake, I would be glad to use my favorate OS again...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Andi
