Install and run IBM OS/2 1.30.2 Extended Edition in 86box. You can find the Installation floppies online. This version ran on 286s. I could not find a 286 board that worked. I went with a 386 board. I was able to use the Factory install floppy disk images. If you try to install on a 486 or Pentium or qemu, you will need to find and download the “Modified” installation floppy disk images that have updated drivers on them.
- Does not seem to support CD-ROM drives at all.
- Does not seem to support sound cards at all.
You will need to go into the BIOS. If no floppy is inserted and the hard drive is unpartitioned, it will show a prompt to press F2 to go into the BIOS. You must select the Floppy Drive Type. You must also select the type of hard drive. Choose “Type 32.”
Choose PS/2 Video driver in OS/2.
