QSINIT is a replacement of OS2LDR created from scratch.

QSINIT share some functionality with OS/4 like OS2LDR.INI file format (kernel menu and options) is because the author was part of the OS/4 team and wrote the same part of OS/4 OS2LDR, also the author decided it was a good idea to have OS/4 compatibility.

Installation and use

Latest version works fine with current version of ACPI.PSD once /VW parameter is specified (e.g.: PSD=ACPI.PSD /VW). To install QSINIT:

• rename original IBM OS2LDR to OS2LDR.OLD;
• unzip OS2LDR and QSINIT.LDI to the root of boot drive;
• create OS2LDR.INI in the root (see readme.txt for example) and reboot.

This will solve the "just 512 MB of RAM" problem on EFI.

• Additional Instructions to use the remaining RAM memory to create a RAMDISK, for example for the temporary directory or the swap file.
