Installing and running UEFI DUET

2011-07-10T21:20:59Z

One cannot boot IBM OS/2 directly from EFI firmware. IBM OS/2 is only
bootable in the old PC/AT way. Maybe the osFree people working on their
FREELDR will work on a version that can run on EFI systems. (If you're
reading this: You won't have to worry about switching into protected
mode, using mini-FSDs, enabling A20 gates, or any of that chaff. The

Master Boot Record with EFI partition table support

2011-06-25T00:06:53Z

I came across an EDD proposal the other day, for adding a new flag to
the EFI (so-called "GUID") partition table. The proposal hypothesized a
master boot record that understood EFI partition tables. It would
enable machines with PC/AT style firmwares to bootstrap operating
systems on discs partitioned with an EFI partition table. (The MBR

Boot Manager with EFI partition table support and LVM metadata support

2011-05-06T11:04:20Z

For those of you who have been playing with CHKVOL, FORMAT, and VMDISK:
You've had all of the things bar one for running my Boot Manager.
Unless you exercised your curiosity, you maybe didn't realize that you
had a SYS command. That, and two more files, are enough to get you my
Boot Manager. The two additional files are now available at the same

LVM partition table extensions

2011-04-29T21:29:21Z

My Boot Manager was already capable of taking partition names (for the
MBR partitioning scheme) from the IBM Boot Manager MBR partition table
extensions. Thanks to information provided by Alex Taylor, I've now
updated it so that it uses the IBM LVM metadata, falling back to the IBM
Boot Manager partition table extensions if the IBM LVM metadata aren't

Re: This new computer electronic mail thingy that's supposed to be faster than the old fashioned way.

2011-04-29T01:46:53Z

The message I was replying to was written by Peter Flass. (I wasn't
aware that you even had a Yahoo electronic mailbox.)
No. Did I tell you to check out the options to CHKVOL on its command
reference page? I told a few people. No-one appears to have done so.
Or, at least, they've not mentioned it in response.

Re: Workplace Shell replacement without the secret undocumented 16-bit stuff

2011-03-28T20:31:48Z

On that subject, here's another "Whither". Is anyone working on a
replacement for Workplace Shell that doesn't have all of the daft
Session Manager stuff in it? That would be good to have.

Re: formatting to FAT32

2011-03-22T17:44:10Z

Although not using FAT is, indeed, the better route here, I mention this
for completeness:
I have a Pure 32-Bit FORMAT replacement that will (high-level) format
FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 volumes (where "volume" includes both disc
partitions managed by the DASD manager and volume image files created

Re: AMD releases open source boot code

2011-03-04T04:04:34Z

Once again: It's not an operating system or an operating system
loader. It's replacement firmware. There won't be any "tapping into
interfaces" because it isn't a loader. It's what loaders (the so-called
"payload") run on top of and use.
And what's this "our loader" business? I for one don't have any stake

Re: Whither LVM replacement?

The screen shots were mockups?
You should see mine. I might send the Progress-o-Matic URL to you, in
fact, just so that you can. (-:

Re: How easy is it to convert to VMDK format?

2011-01-31T13:58:27Z

I find it amusing that I'm using VMDISK to create disc image files for
not quite the virtual machine that it was originally used for.
