V7/x86 0.8a Virtual Machine


V7/x86 is supplied here in a format that should be usable with Bochs,
some VMware products, and VirtualBox.  (Tested on Linux x86_64 using
Bochs 2.5.1, VMware Player 4.0.3, and VirtualBox 3.2.6.)

For Bochs, the supplied "bochsrc" file is what is needed.

For VMware, use the .vmx file.

For VirtualBox, add the .vmdk file using the media manager and then set
up a simple virtual machine from scratch.  (Operating System: Other;
Version: Other; Memory: 16 megabytes)


BRIEF V7/x86 INSTRUCTIONS:

START UP: Press Enter at the "BOOT" prompt, and ^D (Ctrl-D) at the
"#" prompt.  Log in as guest (no password).

SHUTDOWN: Use the su command to become root.  The password is "password".
Enter the command

    kill -1 1

(that is, "kill minus one one") and then

    sync;sync

Then power off the virtual machine.
