i still get the error message. perhaps you can recognize my mistake when =
i tell you what i did:
i made a partition with fdisk, defined as size 6000 MB (fdisk tells a =
size slight above)
i installed FreeDOS 9 on that machine
booted knoppix, made image of the boot sector with "dd if=3D/dev/hda =
of=3Dboot.img count=3D1"
copied it to a floppy disk and the to the Ai386/system/install folder
Edited the "menu.lst" like Till told me.
edited the Ani.pl to:
"mySys($_parted, '-s', '/dev/'.$CfgData{'INSTDEV'}, 'mkpart', 'primary', =
'FAT32', '1020.001', '6000') =3D=3D 0"
rebuilt manix.bz2 and copied it to Ai386\ani.
I also tried the size fdisk told me with the same result.
What did i do wrong?
Do i perhaps have to make the other partitions on the freedos system =
too?
Thanks for your patience with me :-)

The last line should be "chainloader /install/boot.img" of course...

Hi everybody! New ANI will be released soon... guess you don't read that for the first time :) For those who can't wait no longer: We switched to FAT32 as default fs for syspart. Get the new files from CVS: * Replace Ai386/ani/manix.bz2 with http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/ani/W2K/sources/AniInst/manix.bz2?rev=1.6 * Replace Ai386/ani/main.pl with http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/ani/W2K/sources/Ai386/ani/main.pl?rev=1.7 * Replace Ai386/ani/autoexec.tpl with http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/ani/W2K/sources/Ai386/ani/autoexec.tpl?rev=1.3 * Delete Ai386/ani/grubmenu.tpl * Replace Ai386/system/install/menu.lst with http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/ani/W2K/sources/Ai386/system/install/menu.lst?rev=1.5 * Delete Ai386/system/install/sys.com * Delete Ai386/system/install/anisys.com * Get the latest bootcd.iso from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/ani/W2K/sources/AniInst/bootcd.iso?rev=1.4 => On failure: Make sure that LBA mode in BIOS is enabled for the system HDD! bg Till Reisdorffer, Julien schrieb: >Hi Till, > >thanks again. >well when do you plan to release this new hacked anisys.com? > > > > > -- Where do you want to go today? - ANIwhere! http://ani.sourceforge.net |

Hi Till,
i don=B4t want to bother you, but i was curious about the actual status =
of the ANI FAT32 support :-)
So, what has happened yet?
Thanks.

You also have to change the block where the partitions get formated:
-- snip --
*for* (*my* $part=3D1; $part <=3D $CfgData{*'SYSPART'*}; =
$part++) {
zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part);
mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
*or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);
}
-- snap --
to something like this:
-- snip --
*for* (*my* $part=3D1; $part < $CfgData{*'SYSPART'*}; $part++) {
zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part);
mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
*or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);
}
zeroBlock($CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$CfgData{*'SYSPART'*});
mySys($_parted, *'-s'*, *'/dev/'*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}, =
*'mkfs'*, $part, *'FAT16'*) =3D=3D 0
* or* fatal(*"prepHd::parted: mkfs =
"*.$CfgData{*'INSTDEV'*}.$part.*" : $! ($?)"*);=09
-- snap --
BUT(!): Our anisys.com in autoexec.tpl still doesn't work with FAT32,=20
i.e. winnt.exe woun't boot after pre-GUI setup :(
So you must wait until we hacked the anisys.com, or you find a=20
workaround of your own. One solution would be to replace FreeDOS with=20
MS-DOS. Then you had to take the boot.img for grub again...
