Speaking of Netware, I was attempting to install a relatively recent version of Netware on Sun's VirtualBox and it would always abort when detecting drives ... anyone on the list ever successfully get that working? (under any kind of VM?)

Cheers,

Fred

Lets call it for what it is - "legacy" is a term that people use in a
polite but derogatory manner to imply that the future direction they
prefer is not that which they view as the current direction.

I know qemu 0.9.0 can run it fine... I just tried 0.11 and the disk driver trips it up, just like Virtual box trips up on it as well....

the default isadisk sees no drives, and the ide doesn't work.   Now I bet there is some 'fixes' out there but the netware people never were the good at making things.... sane.

I kicked off my install like this:

..\090\qemu-img.exe create -f qcow netware.disk 2G  Formating 'netware.disk', fmt=qcow, size=2097152 kB
..\090\qemu.exe -L ..\090 -M isapc -m 16 -hda netware.disk -fda INSTALL.vfd -boot a

I'll have to get back on the networking though....
