In general, the BPBIOS for RomWBW is incomplete. This is
|
|
mostly just a proof of concept that it can work. As such,
|
|
it is not built or included in the default builds of
|
|
RomWBW. You *must* review and adjust the file romwbw.lib
|
|
before building BPBIOS. To include BPBIOS in the build
|
|
process, you need to uncomment the corresponding line
|
|
in the Build.cmd file in the Source directory.
|
|
|
|
For now, BPBIOS does not understand the dynamic disk assignment
|
|
mechanism of RomWBW. This means that you need to explicitly
|
|
tell BPBIOS the console unit number and the disk unit number of
|
|
the first hard disk device. Floppy drives are basically not
|
|
supported. You should review and adjust the romwbw.lib file
|
|
as needed. The RomWBW ASSIGN command is not supported. BPBIOS
|
|
will boot from the first hard disk unit number you assign and
|
|
always from the first slice.
|
|
|
|
BPBIOS is hard-coded to use the 1024 directory entry hard disk
|
|
format (hd1k). The hd512 format is not supported at all.
