7 MS-DOS Installation
Specific operating systems (with the exception of the Embedded DOS-ROM) are not supported
by Syslogic. Due to its popularity, however, the installation of the standard DOS (usually
Microsoft-DOS or an equivalent implementation) shall be explained here. Note that you must
make sure to have the legal right to load and run MS-DOS on the target, i.e. to have a correct
license. For the installation of MS-DOS please proceed as follows:
1. Prepare the Embedded BIOS for an MS-DOS boot drive:
– Run the NETIPC BIOS Configuration Program on your host-PC
– Read-in the BIOS image file
Edit the BIOS-image
–
Enter the Disk I/O and Booting menu
–
– Select drive A: as first boot drive
Save options using <F1> key
–
Return to main menu via <ESC> key
–
– Write BIOS image file
– Exit (Note: you have now generated a new binary BIOS image)
1. Prepare the MS-DOS system files on the host-PC:
– change to directory C:\FBCUBE\NETIPCFW\MSDOS
Insert system formatted 1.44 MByte 3.5" MS-DOS boot diskette including your
–
required MS-DOS utility programs (e.g. FDISK.EXE, FORMAT.COM,
MODE.COM, etc.) into the floppy drive A: of the host-PC
– Run the DOS batch file PREPBOOT.BAT to transfer MS-DOS system files and
utility programs to subdirectories SYSTEM and DOS
2. Create a binary image of a MS-DOS boot disk for the ROM-drive A: of the target:
– change to directory C:\FBCUBE\NETIPCFW\MSDOS
Remove the files which you do not want to have on your ROM-drive A: from the
–
COPYFILES section in MAKEDRVX.BAT
Note: The IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM files must be the first
files copied to the drive image. Do not remove them or change the order!
Add the files which you want to have additionally on your ROM-drive A: to the
–
COPYFILES section in MAKEDRVX.BAT
– Modify CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (fitting your requirements)
Run the DOS batch file MAKEDRVX.BAT
–
– Verify, that the files you specified in MAKEDRVX.BAT were copied
completely to the drive image (maximum ROM-drive size is 704 kBytes).
The MS-DOS boot ROM disk image is now ready in the file DRIVE_X.BIN
CAUTION: most of the DOS operating systems running on the PC (including MS-DOS,
but excluding Embedded DOS-ROM) initialize all COM-ports to 2'400 bit/s when
powering up. If you want to use the console redirection feature of the Embedded BIOS to
channel all your input/output of your target applications programs to an RS-232 terminal,
then you should add the DOS „MODE-command" to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the
