Quick start ----------- Fortunately a set of 1.2 MB install floppy disks of EUMEL’s x86 port has been preserved, see section artifacts_. It can be installed in any virtual machine emulating an IBM PC. In this example we’re using qemu_. 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``, confirm with ``j`` and accept the following defaults with or ``j``. 4. If the main screen is displayed again press ``0`` 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!
