Lab Session 6: VDM Boot

In this exercise, the student will create a new DOS Full Screen item in the command prompts folder. This new DOS session will be configured so as to boot a "shrink wrap" version of DOS 5.0 instead of utilizing OS/2 2.0s emulated version of DOS.

In order to boot an 8086 kernel into a VDM, that kernel's boot record must be obtained from either a bootable diskette, an image file of that diskette, or a DOS hard disk partition.

The student will be required to configure a VDM which can, in turn, boot DOS from any of these sources.
