version in QEMU:
----------------------------
qemu -fda bl3.f1 -fdb bl3.f2

When it asked for floppy 2, I hit CTRL-C and edited /etc/rc.
I changed the line that says "mount /fd" to:
------------------
mount /dev/fd1 /fd
------------------
Then executed: /etc/rc

It worked fine, although the colors in X were pretty strange.
It was funny to see Xvesa working on a computer which normally
refuses to run Xvesa (QEMU was running on the SVGA Xserver).

I figured it should be possible to do something like this but I couldn't quite project the right steps. Thanks for pointing them out. If one were to specify a qemu HD image on that line as well as including the -boot option with the right parameters (so qemu doesn't try to boot from the qemu HD image), i.e., qemu -boot a -fda bl3.f1 -fdb bl3.f2 -hda BLqemu_img.img , one could go on to do a HD install as well. My attempts at installing Win98 under BL3 qemu were not entirely successful so far. But then I've been running BL3 inside qemu, and have been trying to run qemu within it. I think I'll need to try this with a BL3 install on real hardware to find out where the problem lies and to maybe meet with success.
