#### Boot Disk
|
||||
|
||||
There is no RomWBW-specific boot disk creation procedure. QP/M
|
||||
comes with a QINSTALL which is used to install QPM over an existing
|
||||
CP/M 2 installation or to update an existing QPM disk. `QINSTALL.COM`
|
||||
is included with the RomWBW distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
To create or update a bootable QP/M Z-System disk, a special process
|
||||
is required. QP/M is not provided in source format. You are expected
|
||||
to install QP/M over an existing CP/M installation using the
|
||||
`QINSTALL.COM` application.
|
||||
|
||||
To update an existing QP/M boot disk with the latest RomWBW CBIOS, you
|
||||
must use 2 steps: apply the generic CP/M system track, then reinstall
|
||||
the QP/M components. To do this, you can perform the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Boot to the existing QP/M disk. At this point, drive A should be
|
||||
the QP/M disk that you wish to update. You may receive a warning
|
||||
about CBIOS/HBIOS version mismatch.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use RomWBW `SYSCOPY` to place the stock RomWBW CP/M OS image
|
||||
onto the system tracks of the QP/M boot disk:
|
||||
|
||||
`SYSCOPY A:=x:CPM.SYS`
|
||||
|
||||
where x is the drive letter of your ROM Disk.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `QINSTALL` to overlay the QP/M OS components on your
|
||||
QP/M boot disk.
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: `QINSTALL` has no mechanism for retaining previous
|
||||
non-default settings. Any previous non-default settings you
|
||||
previously made with `QINSTALL` will need to be reapplied. The
|
||||
pre-built RomWBW QP/M disk image includes a couple of specific
|
||||
non-default settings to optimize use with RomWBW. Please review the
|
||||
notes in the ReadMe.txt file in Source/Images/d_qpm.
