However, on every reboot, I have to answer in the Kolibri loader blue screen the settings for [a] Videomode - [e] Floppy image.
How can I save these settings, so that it will be automatic next time?
In particular, I want to set [e] Floppy image: C:\kolibri.img (FAT32).
It asks "Remember current settings? [y/n]: I select y, and it boots very quickly, but it always asks again - it does NOT seem to remember the Floppy image setting.
I even did the following: RDSAVE --> RAM-drive will be saved as: /hd0/4/kolibri.img (RAM-drive was saved successfully). However, still, next boot it ask again which floppy image to use.
How can I permanently save my floppy image selection to C:\kolibri.img (FAT32) ?
Here is how I made my installation:
- MBR: GAG boot manager to select 1-4 OS, all in primary partitions, with "Hide unselected primary partitions" activated. So if I select 4th primary partition (KolibriOS), then 1-3 will be hidden, and C:\kolibri.img should be the first visible drive.
The other partitions on this retro-PC playground are:
- hd0/1: FAT32 (MS-DOS) - not really useful, just for learning about MBR, GRUB, and multi-boot OS
- hd0/2: FAT32 (Windows98) - not really useful, just for learning about MBR, GRUB, and multi-boot OS
- hd0/3: ext3 (LegacyOS 2017 Linux)
- hd0/4: FAT32 (KolibriOS)
To install KolibriOS:
1.) Place the entire KolibriOS USB/HDD image in the ROOT folder of FAT32, so that there is a file hda4/kolibri.img
2.) Copy the memdisk file into hda4/memdisk (also into the root folder)
3.) In Linux, edit GRUB menu.lst (GRUB1) on hda3/boot/grub/menu.lst to add an entry as follows
Code: Select all
# Linux bootable partition config begins
title KolibriOS (on /dev/hda4)
root (hd0,3)
kernel /memdisk raw
initrd /kolibri.img
# Linux bootable partition config ends
Note: hda4 in Linux = hd0,3 in GRUB = /hd0/4 in KolibriOS
5.) To install GRUB to hda4 with the new menu.lst parameters, I use the following commands in Linux:
Code: Select all
>grub
root (hd0,3)
setup (hd0,3)
>reboot
7.) Now I see Grub, I select KolibriOS
8.) Now I see the KolibriOS startup configuration dialog [a] - [e] settings.
If there is any way to simplify and speed up the boot process further, let me know.
