# Windows 98
|
|
|
|
The installation process is quite different since Windows 98 will be incompatible
|
|
with most of the defaults in virt-manager.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Windows_98
|
|
|
|
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Options#Display_options
|
|
|
|
You'll need to install from command line like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
qemu-system-x86_64 \
|
|
-cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/iso/windows98se.iso \
|
|
-boot order=d \
|
|
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win98.qcow2 \
|
|
-m 512 \
|
|
-device sb16 \
|
|
-display sdl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- cdrom allows us to use the ISO image. It's also possible to use virsh to
|
|
forward a physical drive to a file, but reading the data from the hard drive
|
|
is usually faster.
|
|
|
|
- boot allows us to specify the order to d, which is the CD.
|
|
|
|
- drive allows us to use the image we just created.
|
|
|
|
- enable-kvm turns on hardware acceleration in x86 using the kernel VM. KVM
|
|
causes problems on Windows hosts when shutting down the guest and can even
|
|
prevent it from starting in some cases. If this occurs, you can safely remove
|
|
it from the command.
|
|
|
|
- m allocates the guest's RAM. In this case we use 512, but going above it can
|
|
be dangerous for Windows 9x.
|
|
|
|
- device allows us to add a device driver, in this case, the Creative
|
|
SoundBlaster 16 sound card (sb16) to get audio. Standard Windows 98 discs
|
|
ship with drivers for it, and if you haven't used this flag while installing,
|
|
it would need to scan for it.
|
|
|
|
- display allows us to use an alternative display engine rather than GTK+. In
|
|
this case, we use Simple DirectMedia Layer because it doesn't conflict as
|
|
much with fullscreen support. You can press Ctrl+Alt+F to enter and exit
|
|
fullscreen mode and Ctrl+Alt to have QEMU grab or ungrab the keyboard input
|
|
and invoke the monitor as usual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Boot
|
|
|
|
We'll boot with the same command we used to install but without the boot parameters
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
qemu-system-x86_64 \
|
|
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win98.qcow2 \
|
|
-m 512 \
|
|
-device sb16 \
|
|
-display sdl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo qemu-system-i386 \
|
|
-name "Windows 98" \
|
|
-L pc-bios -nodefaults -no-hpet -no-reboot -display sdl \
|
|
-M pc,accel=tcg -cpu pentium3 -m 1024 \
|
|
-drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/win98.qcow2 \
|
|
-device VGA -device sb16 -device rtl8139,netdev=net0 \
|
|
-netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::8080-:80,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
|
|
-rtc base=localtime,clock=host
|
|
```
