==Setup Notes==
==Notes==
I had Bochs working using an .img file as the Windows c:\ drive, and then it mysteriously stopped working (probably due to an Ubuntu upgrade) so I'm taking notes as I rebuild the .img file to (hopefully) fix the problem.
When [[Bochs]] mysteriously stopped being able to run [[Windows 98|Win98]], I found that Qemu was able to use the exact same .img file Bochs had been using, and it did manage to load Win98 quite easily. It would appear, then, that the setup for Qemu on Linux is probably quite similar to that of [[Bochs on Linux|Bochs]].
 
Some notes I took last time (will explain them when I figure out what they mean):
 
[[Linux:mknod|mknod]] /dev/loop0
[[Linux:modprobe|modprobe]] loop
/sbin/[[Linux:losetup|losetup]] /dev/loop0 /home/woozle/win98/c.img
 
"Edit /etc/[[Linux:fstab|fstab]] -- set up /dev/loop0 just like D drive"
 
[[Linux:mount|mount]] /dev/loop0
[[Linux:mknod|mknod]] /dev/tap0 c 36 16

Techniques: Qemu on Linux

This article is about setting up and running the Qemu emulator on Linux.

Notes

When Bochs mysteriously stopped being able to run Win98, I found that Qemu was able to use the exact same .img file Bochs had been using, and it did manage to load Win98 quite easily. It would appear, then, that the setup for Qemu on Linux is probably quite similar to that of Bochs.
