Good evening everyone !
I have a question regarding the DOSBox-X .conf file.
To mount a floppy & hard drive image the commands are:
imgmount 0 boot.img -t floppy -fs noneimgmount 2 win98.img -t hdd -size 512,63,64,520 -fs none
Is the
-fs none
parameter required or not ? If we don't put this parameter what does it change & does it work ?
Greetings !
Assuming the disk image is formatted, or in the case of a HDD image is partitioned and formatted, you can simply mount it in DOSBox-X as
imgmount a boot.imgimgmount c win98.img
You can then boot the win98 boot disk
boot a:
There is no need for any of the other parameters, as it will all be autodetected.
Basically "-fs none" is needed to prevent DOSBox-X from trying to autodetect the filesystem type. Typically needed with not yet formatted disks. If you used the included "imgmake" command to create a floppy disk or HD image, it will normally be ready to mount. This is all documented on the DOSBox-X wiki, including a guide on installing Win98.

Yes, this is explained on the dosbox-x wiki in the Win98 installation guide.
