Installing and Configuring Enhanced OS-9
Enhanced OS-9 for X86 PCAT 23
At this point, the disk has been formatted and the OS-9 system files
have been copied to disk. The next section,
Advanced Configurations
,
discusses building and installing an OS-9 boot file on the hard disk.
Advanced Configurations
It may be desirable to configure the target computer to boot from a local
hard disk and to move the OS-9 console to a serial port so that the
monitor may be removed or dedicated to graphics applications. This
section assumes that:
You have built a boot floppy, with networking enabled, as described
in the previous section.
You have a hard disk attached to the OS-9 target system and have
followed the instructions in the previous section to format and load it.
You have the COM1 port connected to your windows host
computer’s serial port, with the appropriate cable, and have a
terminal emulation program, such as Hyperterm running. Note, this
step is optional, but may be necessary if you would like to move the
OS-9 console to a serial port so that graphics applications may have
dedicated use of the display/keyboard.
