Hi all!

So, I somewhat successfully installed Warp 4 in a VirtualBox scenario.
The only issue I had was getting the OS/2 Additions up and working like
they should, which resulted in me only have Warp 4 run a 640x480
resolution, whcih was crap :)

Has anyone else been able to do a successful OS/2 Warp installation into
a VirtualBox (current release) virtual machine?

AFAIK additions don't work correctly, I haven't met anyone who managed to install them. I'm getting a trap when loading the driver.

PS: the network adapter pcnet-fast iii (nat) works fine.

Use an older version of VirtualBox, you mean? I'm using the
current version with eCS 2.2 and the VBox additions installed and
so far, things seem to be running on here on the DOS side of
things.

Virtual Guest Additions Driver for OS/2 (Beta)

- the generic VESA gradd driver is being used (gengradd)
Updated installation instructions:
- boot to the OS/2 command prompt (alt-f1 while the white blob is displayed
during early boot, then f2)
- copy all files into the directory c:\OS2Additions
make a backup copy of c:\os2\dll\gengradd.dll
- copy our gengradd.dll to c:\os2\dll
- copy libc06*.dll to c:\os2\dll
- comment out the 'device=c:\os2\boot\mouse.sys' line in c:\config.sys (put
'rem' in front)
- append 'device=c:\OS2Additions\ vboxguest.sys' to c:\config.sys
append 'device= c:\ OS2Additions\ vboxmouse. sys' to c:\config. sys
- add 'c:\OS2Additions\ VBoxService.exe' to the start of c:\startup.cmd
- reboot

You need to do this manually so I suspect that you haven't installed the video driver properly if your not getting higher than standard VGA resolutions.

Cheers,

Bryan

Actually, yes, I did indeed do this very thing. They just seem
to work better on this eCS 2.2beta2 VM that I am running this
setup on now than they did for pure OS/2 Warp.

Thank you for the very good instructions. I have saved the message for
future reference,if I ever would need to implement it, and/or support
somebody, doing the same.

It means he uses the Mac OSX version/build of the MultiMail
