I am trying to boot from my floppy disk.. and I keep getting this error!..
I am new to qemu and not sure how to get this working.. I have seen in prev post that some of you use this program..Thats why I posted it here..

qemu -L .\pc-bios -fda \\.\a: -boot a

Error:
Could not open '\\.\kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated
qemu: could not load PC bios '.\pc-bios/bios.bin'

bios.bin is located in the qemu folder?

Thanks, for any help given...

I do not use emulators much, but this bat file works with DexOS and MiniDos under qemu in XP.
Code:
@echo offSET SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windibSTART qemu-system-x86_64.exe -L . -m 32 -fda MiniDOS.ima -soundhw sb16 -std-vga -localtimeCLSexit    

NOTE: You need to change "qemu-system-x86_64.exe" to the one your using and also change "MiniDOS.ima" to the image your using.
I know you want to load it from A: drive, but is just the way i do it.

This code below will boot from a floppy disk..
Just place it in a .bat file... Thanks Dex.. It took me a while to figure it out..
The only problem is that it will boot my 16 bit kernel but not a Pmode one..

I can load the 16 bit and then execute the 32 bit one once the 16bit one is loaded.. It should work the same with minidos.. The graphics worked also by doing this..


qemu-system-x86_64.exe -L .\ -fda \\.\a: -boot a
