Back in April and May of 2002, I did some work on Bochs
|
||||
in order to get it to install and boot SCO's OpenServer 5.0.5 (OSR5).
|
||||
Since that time, I have had several e-mails asking about this error message
|
||||
or that. The newsgroup posts done at the time had all of the information that I knew,
|
||||
so I pointed people there. (I had not used Bochs since...)
|
||||
In February of 2003, I got another such e-mail.
|
||||
Since the sender indicated they were willing to pay me to get this going for them,
|
||||
I agreed to spend a few hours on it (for free, which is not common :-}). Subsequently,
|
||||
I decided to document this once and for all. (I did not charge anyone anything, this time...)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Note: These steps were originally used with Bochs 1.4.1 (or thereabouts,
|
||||
since I was using CVS heavily at the time). It is possible (likely) that later versions of Bochs
|
||||
are more tolerant/bug free, and this install may be abbreviated. However, I have not tried
|
||||
to streamline it at all.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
These steps were performed and confirmed using Bochs version 2.0.2, and SCO OpenServer version 5.0.5.
|
||||
The host OS was Red Hat Linux 8.0.
|
||||

|
||||
First, I downloaded the tarball, and extracted the source tree. I decided to use the tarball
|
||||
instead of the RPM so that I knew what options were compiled in, etc.
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
linux-$ tar -xzvf bochs-2.0.2.tar.gz
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Next, I configured and compiled Bochs...
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
linux-$ cd bochs-2.0.2
|
||||
linux-$ ./configure --enable-cdrom --enable-ne2000 --enable-host-specific-asms
|
||||
linux-$ make
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
The --enable-host-specific-asms should only be used if the host OS is an Intel x86 based OS.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
I then created my disk image:
|
||||

|
||||
linux-$ ./bximage

|
||||
Do you want to create a floppy disk image or a hard disk image?
|
||||
Please type hd or fd. [hd] hd
|
||||
|
||||
Enter the hard disk size in megabytes, between 1 and 32255
|
||||
[10] 2048
|
||||
|
||||
I will create a hard disk image with
|
||||
cyl=4161
|
||||
heads=16
|
||||
sectors per track=63
|
||||
total sectors=4194288
|
||||
total size=2047.99 megabytes
|
||||
|
||||
What should I name the image?
|
||||
[c.img] hd0.img
|
||||
|
||||
Writing: [] Done.
|
||||
|
||||
I wrote 2147475456 bytes to hd0.img.
|
||||
|
||||
The following line should appear in your .bochsrc:
|
||||
ata0-master: type=disk, path="hd0.img", cylinders=4161, heads=16, spt=63
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
I then created my .bochsrc file. I did this via the interactive portion of Bochs, with the
|
||||
end result as follows:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
floppya: 1_44="/dev/fd0", status=inserted

||||

|
||||
Some important things to note are that you want to boot from the cdrom, and you do NOT want the ne2000
|
||||
card configured initially. (We'll add that later...)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
At this point, Bochs is ready to roll! Insert the OSR5 install CD into the drive, and start Bochs.
|
||||
You should soon see the SCO "boot:" prompt:
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
SCO OpenServer(TM) Release 5
|
||||
|
||||
boot
|
||||
: defbootstr disable=fdi,dptr
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
|
||||
Note the disable= parameter that you need. These two SCO drivers cause the install to fail, so they
|
||||
need to be disabled for the install boot. You will not need this once OSR5 is installed.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
During the install of OSR5, there are two default configuration answers that need to be changed.
|
||||
For the hard disk setup, you should turn bad tracking off, since it's unnecessary on an emulated disk.
|
||||
(It won't hurt to do it, it will just take a VERY long time!)
|
||||
For the network setup, change the network card to Deferred. You can change other settings, if you so
|
||||
desire. However, I would do the initial install with as little configured as you can get away with, then
|
||||
add whatever else is needed (one step at a time) after the initial install completes.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Let the install copy the files. Go get lunch. Take a nap. Go have dinner...
|
||||
This can take a LONG time. On my Pentium 4 1.7GHz system, this
|
||||
step took just over eight hours! (BTW, it was MUCH longer in version 1.4.1. Great job, guys!)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
After the install finishes, you will need to change the following lines in .bochsrc file:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
ne2k: ioaddr=0x280, irq=10, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=linux, ethdev=eth0
|
||||
boot: c
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
Obviously, if you're not using Linux, the ethmode and ethdev values on the ne2k line will be different.
|
||||
Also, since Bochs uses "raw" network card access, you'll have to "setuid root" on the Bochs executable:
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
linux-$ chown root bochs
|
||||
linux-$ chmod u+s bochs
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
(If there is a way to give a "normal user" CAP_NET_RAW capability, that would be an alternative.
|
||||
I don't know how to do that...)
|
||||
Restart Bochs. Now, you can just press Enter at the OSR5 boot: prompt, because the offending
|
||||
drivers have been linked out of the kernel.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Before you configure the network card, I'd strongly suggest getting the latest "nat" driver from SCO.
|
||||
Version 5.0.5b of this driver, according to the SCO web site, "correct[s] possible system lockup
|
||||
under high load due to internal buffer overflow." The driver can be found
|
||||
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/openserver5/drivers/OSR505/network/nat">here</ulink>.
|
||||
To get the Disk Image file into SCO, I downloaded the VOL.000.000 file to my linux box,
|
||||
and used tar to get it on to a floppy:
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
linux-$ tar -cvf /dev/fd0 VOL.000.000
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
I then used tar within OSR5 to move it from the floppy to the /tmp directory:
|
||||
<screen>
|
||||
osr5-# cd /tmp
|
||||
osr5-# tar -xvf /dev/fd0135ds18
|
||||
</screen>
|
||||
You can then use 'custom' to install the driver from the image file.
|
||||
You will then want to use 'scoadmin network' to configure the network card. Choose
|
||||
the Novell NE2000 card, and set the parameters to match the ne2k: line in the .bochsrc file.
|
||||
DO NOT have OSR5 look for the card, as Bochs may likely crash. (It did in version 1.4.1.)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
You can also configure a printer, if you want. Using the spoolpipe utility that I wrote
|
||||
(which can be found in Bochs's misc directory), you can print from OSR5 through the parallel
|
||||
port, and you'll hardly notice
|
||||
that the printing is going through an extra layer of operating system!
|
||||
(You could also set up a printer using network printing, if the printer is not on the host machine...)
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Obviously, dont forget to apply the release supplements and other patches that are considered
|
||||
"must haves" for OSR5: rs505a, oss600a, oss497b (others?).
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
That's about as far as I have got. I played around with OSR5 within Bochs a bit, but I
|
||||
can by no means say that I did any kind of real testing, let alone exhaustive testing.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
And of course, YMMV! :-)
