It can be installed in any virtual machine emulating an +IBM PC. In this example we’re using qemu_. The `first disk`__ is optional and +contains `install instructions`_ in german language. The `second disk`__ is the +bootable setup programs. It creates a partition on the harddrive, formats it +and installs the SHard. `Disk three`__ contains EUMEL0 and base system. + +1. Create a 128 MB harddrive: ``qemu-img create root.img 128M`` +2. Start the setup program: ``qemu-system-i386 -drive + file=02_setup.img,if=floppy,format=raw -drive file=root.img,format=raw`` +3. Create a new partition by pressing ``1<return>``, confirm with ``j`` and + accept the following defaults with <return> or ``j``. +4. If the main screen is displayed again press ``0<return>`` and confirm yet + again with ``j`` to exit setup. The screen should now read “E N D E”. +5. Quit qemu and restart it with the third floppy disk. The bootloader + complains that “HG ungueltig”. +6. Press any key followed by ``2`` and a confirmation with ``j``. Reset the + machine again. +7. Now we have to set up the keyboard layout and time. Select “Kanal 1” with + ``j``, then press ``n`` until ``pc.1.25`` is displayed and confirm. Disable + “Kanal 2” and 15 with ``n`` and decline deleting those channels with ``n``. +8. Congratulations, a fully functional EUMEL is now running in your virtual + machine!
