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.
