I am installing Aos under vmwareworkstation-4.0.

The steps are: format disk under DOS, boot AosCD, start Oberon
and followed the instreuctions in Desktops.OpenDOc AosInst.Tool ~

change the partition IDE0#01 to type 76
format it (successful)
Mount it (OFTools.Mount AOS AosFS IDE0#01 ~)
extract files (ZipTool.ExtractAll \p AOS:\o ...)
edit config file (ET.OpenAscii Aos.Par ~)
execute+uncomment line (# PArtitions.UpdateBootFile IDE0#01 AosIDE.bin ~)
execute+uncomment line (# Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#01 ~)
change BootVol1 = "Aos AosFS Ide0#01"

save the file (.StoreAscii)

Activate the partition (Partitions.Activate IDE0#01 ~)
Reboot the system (System.Reboot)

Afetr reboot the system hangs at

OBERON loading...

Any insight will be appreciated.

Hello Ishwar,

Before editing your Aos.Par file, do the command:
Partitions.GetConfig IDE0#1 ~

It will open a Config.Text document with the two following lines:
Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#1
~

Then begin editing:
ET.OpenAscii Aos.Par ~

Now merge the content of Aos.Par into the Config.Text document.
You should have something like this:
Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#1
# ... everything that matter (from Aos.Par) eg.:
BootVol1 = "Aos AosFS.Bin Ide0#1"
# ...
~

Now:
Partitions.UpdateBootFile IDE0#1 AosIDE.bin ~

Then execute the command in Config.Text and, voila

Maybe I have forgot something but you get the idea.

Cheers,

Hello Ishwar,
Partitions.GetConfig IDE0#1 ~
Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#1
~
ET.OpenAscii Aos.Par ~
Now merge the content of Aos.Par into the Config.Text document.

Another dumb one: how does one do a merge of one file into another?

I believe the easiest way to do it may be :

1- edit your Aos.Par file and save it immediatly but then...
2- insert the line "Partitions.SetConfig IDE0#1" at the very beggining
and "~" at the very end of Aos.Par (but do not save the changes) and...
3- do "Partitions.UpdateBootFile IDE0#1 AosIDE.bin ~"
4- middle-click-execute the command just inserted at the top of Aos.Par
5- System.Reboot

It should work, let me know.
