86box make a boot disk the old way
0Using 86BOX to emulate a PC, we will create a boot disk that can be used to access and repair computer fixed drives or to access a corrupted current OS.
Files to copy:
Generic CD-ROM driver + MSCDEX: Links the driver to a drive letter.
Mouse driver: Common serial mouse driver connecting the device to IRQ.
Essential utilities: format, fdisk, label, scandisk, edit, attrib, qbasic, and others necessary for creating disk partitions, changing the label name, and more.
Finally, we will edit both autoexec.bat and config.sys.
autoexec.bat: Allows user access to modify certain things like messages, batch scripts, and loading drivers directly. It sets up usual configurations that you can generally enter in the command line.
config.sys: The OS's direct path to setting up drivers and functions, allowing the system configuration to be changed easily.
