The Minix installation manual in the VM often takes Bochs to run minix. Never install a minix. I plan to try it today. Because there is already a lot of operating systems in my hard drive. I am afraid of conflict. ^ _ ^. So I chose it in the virtual machine Install minix. The same is the same in the bare metal :). Because VMware is relatively simple, the interface is relatively friendly. So I chose it to install it. I download a VMware Workstation first (go to www.igoogle.com and search it. Because of this geothermal stuff. The block is relatively large. There are about 20m (I am 4.0). The running environment is Win2000 compatible OS. After installation and configure it. Friends who are familiar with VMware can skip the following installation steps It is just the most basic configuration. Start creating a new virtual machine. Click File->
New Virtual Machine has come to create a new virtual machine. Configure the Configuration Wizard. Point Next. A interface topic appears SELECT The appropriate Configuration has two options One is Typical. One is Custom (custom). We are here The purpose is to install Minix. No very fine configuration. So select typical. Other features are interested to go to study: An interface Select Guest Operating System. Down-down list You can select some known operating systems. There is no display in the list of MINIX systems. So you can select Other. Tap Next. The title is Name The Virtual Machine. This is where you give us the name of the OS. Step by filling the minix point in Virtual Machine Name. Connection. We are not intended to design the network here. So the last Do Not Use A Network Connection point is done. This MINIX operating system is done. Let's take a look at Vmare's Lord. Interface (Figure 1-1). Figure 1-1 Let's introduce how to configure a virtual machine. Our new minix operating system is displayed on the left list. The list is some summary of the MINIX this virtual machine (Summary ). The first item is a memory (Memory) can enter the configuration. This is generally half the size of the actual memory. The second is the hard disk (hard disk 1) here is some options for the hard disk. We can no matter whether it is. Items are the optical drive (CD-ROOM) can choose whether to load the optical drive. When startup, use physical devices (refer to our CD-ROM or use IMAGE) About ISO files You can use some software production. For example: Ultraiso. Fourth The content is basically basic and the optical drive. Difference is that it uses the IMG file. IMG file can be made using many software. For example, WinImage, HD-Copy, FLoopy Image. VMVare is basically configured. Below us Start installing minix. Minix requires a floppy disk to install. It takes 9 floppy dishes without a bad track to install. What should I do if there is so much floppy?
It doesn't matter. Use a piece. Of course we need to make each disc into an IMG file ^ _ ^. (IMG file format is a file that VM can be identified), let us talk about the installation method. The Minix installation file is TAZ format. So first decompress to the floppy disk. The MINIX CD includes an installer (with the book). Or you can go online. We use the installation file on the MINIX CD. For example. If you have these installation files, you can also install. Friends without CDs can go to http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/minix.html official website to download. Or go to www.gogle.com Search ^ _ ^ First we entered DOS. Note Blue is what we entered. Green is the contents of the screen to switch to the Minix folder in the CD. For example, E: / CD miniXe: / minix / then type FDVOL 1440 A: I386 / ROOT I386 / USR Enter Showble PLEASE INSERT FORMATTED DISKETTE # 1 in A Driver A, the hit enter is to put the floppy disk. Press Enter to copy the MINIX start image and installation image to Inside the floppy disk. Below is the sound of Karakala read the floppy disk. Then there will be a copy of the copy information such as: TRACK: 0 Head: 1 Sectotr: 1 File Offset: 1000, etc., will display DONE. It will copy the installation file to the floppy disk. Each sector track. If there is a bad track, it will be displayed. So will copy from the new copy: (FDVOL is a MINIX own program. It is responsible for copying the data to the floppy disk. Good startup If you don't have enough discs to make it IMG file. This can be used on the virtual machine to make an IMG file a lot. For example, WinImage, HD-COPY may be special. These floppy disk production I can't use it in the virtual machine. So I was looking for a long day to find a FLOOPY Image software. This software is successful. Continue to make the installation disk below. Type: fdvol 1440 A: i386 / usr.taz will make Three floppy disk. Each of the floppy disk is inserted into the floppy disk. We can use this opportunity. Let this disk be made into an IMG file. Then press Enter ^ _ ^. Of course I want IMG to work in order Name. I have forgotten when I have installed: (then type: fdvol 1440 A: SYS.TAZ requires two discs to last Type: fdvol 1440 A: cmd.taz requires three discs Ok. The installation disc is completed, ^ _ ^. Below start installation. Start the virtual machine. You can click which green triangle can be on the Power menu. The virtual machine will start. Figure 1-2 Figure 1-2 Here we can first look at our VMware to set the floppy disk. Click the Edit menu. Select Virtual Machine Settings and then pop up the dialog box to select FLOOPY. Punch the Connected and Connect At Power on the Device Status group to hook Start with a floppy disk. The following connection is a selection flush (USE FLOPPY Image) as shown in Figure 1-3, using the IMG file boot. Figure 1-3 Due to the installation of Minix requires a space 30m size space. So When installing Minix, it should be a space of this size. Of course, there is no limit. ^ _ ^. Some partition software, such as SFDisk, Diskman, or et al., Etc. under Linux, SFDisk, Diskman, et al. Whether it uses that partition Software as long as the partition system flag is changed to 81, the boot mark is changed to 80. The partition capacity is at least 30m. Of course, Minix is equipped with a partition program in installation. But it uses trouble. So Recommended. Of course, if you can't find the above-mentioned similar software, use Minix partition program "part"
It is also possible (hereinafter described), for example, I am a district of diskman. Figure 1-4 These guidance flags are 80. The system is 81 is Linux / Minix system. Capacity I give 300M (minimum 30m) Figure 1-4 Follow the MINIX :) Insert the first disk. Set it to the installation interface of Minix. You can enter its environment with the mouse click.
