I'm attempting to install OS/2 Warp 4.52 in a running copy of QEMU on my Linux box. I use the CVS sources but tried the 'stable' release (0.6.1) as well. When booting off CD or from the installation disks it hangs when trying to load IBM1FLPY.ADD. If it manages to bypass that driver, it refuses to accept keyboard input for the next disk. (Most cases it hangs).
When it asks for the diskette are you switching to the QEMU console to issue a eject and change commands?
Use "Ctrl+Alt+2" to get to QEMU console
Try copying the diskette images from the OS/2 cd to the Linux system and then using the "-boot a -fda xxx.dsk" parms on the QEMU line to boot from diskette image.

Would anyone happen to have any idea how I might be able to install OS/2 in QEMU?
So far I had to install using Warp4, create a second image, then restore/unzip a previously installed OS/2 MCP2.
I have problems with images greater than 500MB, IDE driver loading, networking.
Warp4 and ms win98/2k/xp runs in QEMU so running MCP2 must be possible.
I found QEMU itself to be very stable and run the guest OSes very effeciently.
