Purpose: when it is started (from Win95/98/ME), (correctly) unloads Windows
|
||||
and loads KolibriOS instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation is not required.
|
||||
|
||||
Start:
|
||||
9x2klbr [[drive:]\[path\][image_name]]
|
||||
Image file must be situated on hard disk.
|
||||
Default values: drive C:, root folder, image kolibri.img.
|
||||
Path and image name must contain only characters from first half of
|
||||
ASCII-table. In particular, there must be no russian letters.
|
||||
|
||||
FAT: Only short names of folders and file are accepted, i.e. progra~1 instead
|
||||
of Program Files; for names such as kolibri and menuet.075 (no more than
|
||||
8 characters in name, no more than 3 characters in extension, no special
|
||||
characters) this is satisfied automatically, in general case short name can be
|
||||
found out, for example, in Explorer dialog "Properties" (in column
|
||||
"MS-DOS name").
|
||||
|
||||
If this requirements are not satisfied, loader will not format drive :-)
|
||||
but simply says 'not found'.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
9x2klbr d:\download\kolibri\kolibri1.img
|
||||
9x2klbr c:\progra~1\kolibri\
|
||||
9x2klbr \progra~1\kolibri\
|
||||
(will load from kolibri.img)
|
||||
9x2klbr e:\
|
||||
(equivalent to 9x2klbr e:\kolibri.img)
|
||||
9x2klbr
|
||||
(without parameters; equivalent to 9x2klbr c:\kolibri.img)

|

Installation:
|
||||
Step 1. Copy files mtldr and kolibri.img to C:\
|
||||
(You do not want to use C:\? Read remarks below.)
|
||||
|
||||
Step 2a) For users of NT-family (NT/2k/XP/2003 Server (?)):
|
||||
add to boot.ini to the section [operating systems] line
|
||||
c:\mtldr="KolibriOS"
|
||||
(either open c:\boot.ini with any text editor, or through
|
||||
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery
|
||||
-> Edit). You can change the title in quotes to anything you like,
|
||||
under this title the system will appear to bootload list.
|
||||
Now at booting the screen of operating system choice will appear.
|
||||
|
||||
Step 2b) For users of 9x-family (95/98)
|
||||
(probably it works also for some DOS):
|
||||
add to config.sys line
|
||||
install=c:\mtldr
|
||||
as first line, if you have simple linear config.sys,
|
||||
as first line in the corresponding section, if config.sys
|
||||
is divided to sections (and begins with [menu])
|
||||
Now at booting mtldr will ask: "Load KolibriOS? [y/n]: " and wait for press
|
||||
one of 'y','Y','n','N'.
|
||||
|
||||
It does not work for Windows Millenium, because loader of WinME does not
|
||||
load external code referenced by config.sys. (Thanks to camper for pointing
|
||||
to this sad fact.) Use 9x2klbr.
|
||||
|
||||
Step 2c) For Vista users:
|
||||
open command line with administrator rights
|
||||
(the variant "Run as administrator" in context menu);
|
||||
if you do not plan install many Kolibri variants as described
|
||||
in remarks, simply run vista_install.bat
|
||||
otherwise execute the following commands:
|
||||
bcdedit /create /d "KolibriOS" /application BOOTSECTOR
|
||||
(You can replace the string in quotes with anything you like,
|
||||
this is the title for system in boot list.)
|
||||
The following message must appear:
|
||||
"The record {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} was successfully created."
|
||||
In the next commands place obtained value (it is different on
|
||||
different machines and different runs).
|
||||
bcdedit /set {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} DEVICE PARTITION=C:
|
||||
bcdedit /set {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} PATH \mtldr
|
||||
bcdedit /displayorder {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} /addlast
|
||||
|
||||
To remove mtldr, in cases 2a) and 2b) delete entered data from boot.ini or
|
||||
config.sys accordingly. To remove in case 2c), do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
vista_remove.bat, if you install through vista_install.bat;
|
||||
bcdedit /delete {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} in general case
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not remember assigned to mtldr GUID (this is normal), you can
|
||||
find it out by running bcdedit without arguments and finding in displayed list
|
||||
corresponding item.
|
||||
|
||||
In all cases in KolibriOS screen of parameter choice you can
|
||||
on the question about image (item d, "floppy image"), answer "3"
|
||||
(use already loaded image).
|
||||
|
||||
Remarks:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Now all this works only for file systems NTFS and FAT32, support for FAT16
|
||||
is not implemented because I think that now FAT16 is only historical object.
|
||||
If you use FAT16 and Windows and you do not want to go to FAT32 - mail me -
|
||||
possibly you will succeed in make me change my mind.
|
||||
|
||||
2. You do not need to place the loader mtldr itself to C:\. Under 9x and Vista
|
||||
it can be placed anywhere, in NT-family - on drive C:, but not necessary in
|
||||
root folder. (Of course, when installing, you must use instead of c:\mtldr
|
||||
the real path and the real name of the file.)
|
||||
|
||||
3. You do not need to place the image kolibri.img to C:\. You can without
|
||||
any changes in install use root folder of any logical drive, located on
|
||||
first physical.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Do you want to use logical drive on other physical drive? You can use
|
||||
any from following variants:
|
||||
a) (If you can work with FASM) In the sources (which can be downloaded from
|
||||
http://diamondz.land.ru, in the same place with loader itself) change
|
||||
the constant boot_drive (located at the end of mtldr.asm) from 80h to
|
||||
identifier of disk, 80h for first, 81h for second and so on. Recompile.
|
||||
b) (If you can use hex-editor) Change the byte at offset 0xD98 from 80h to
|
||||
identifier of disk (as in a)).
|
||||
c) Use mtldr_install (you can download it in the same place). It will
|
||||
config and install loader.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Do you dislike root folder? There is two variants:
|
||||
a) In the sources change the constant kolibri_img_name (end of mtldr.asm)
|
||||
to path to root. For example, for C:\Program Files\kolibri\kolibri.img
|
||||
write 'progra~1\kolibri\kolibri.img' (use 8.3 names). Recompile.
|
||||
b) Use mtldr_install.
|
||||
|
||||

BOOT_F32.BIN - bootsector for FAT32;
|
||||
MTLD_F32 - auxiliary loader file;
|
||||
inst.exe - installer for WinNT+;
|
||||
setmbr.exe - installs standard MBR (read below);
|
||||
readme.txt - this file.
|
||||
|
||||
To install, flash with FAT32 file system, with free space available for
|
||||
file kolibri.img and a couple of Kb for loader, is required.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation for WinNT+ users:
|
||||
Run inst.exe, it will display a list of connected flash drives. Select
|
||||
the drive, on which you want to install, and double-click on it.
|
||||
The program will report success or fail (cannot read/write to drive or
|
||||
drive is not FAT32-volume).
|
||||
Copy to the flash the file kolibri.img with wanted distribution kit version.
|
||||
(These two actions can be done in any order.)
|
||||
Now you can boot from this flash drive.
|
||||
|
||||
I have encountered situation, when (recently released) flash does not boot
|
||||
and displays message "Pen drive Without Operating System.Remove
|
||||
Pen Drive And Reboot." If instead of booting you see the same or like message,
|
||||
probably setmbr.exe can help. It must be runned with administrator rights.
|
||||
After loading in the appeared list double-click on the drive corresponding to
|
||||
your flash drive. Program will report success or fail.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation for users of other operating systems:
|
||||
automatic - not supported yet. If you can work with disk editor, the following
|
||||
information may help you: inst.exe does following:
|
||||
- reads bootsector, checks that it specifies FAT32;
|
||||
- copies to the flash the file MTLD_F32, at the same time sets attributes
|
||||
"hidden","system","read-only" (they do not play any role for the loader itself,
|
||||
they protect the file from unnecessary curiosity);
|
||||
- reads the file BOOT_F32.BIN; in its data replaces volume parameters
|
||||
from offset 3 to offset 0x5A (0x57 bytes) to parameters taken from current
|
||||
bootsector;
|
||||
- writes obtained data back to flash bootsector, and also in backup copy of
|
||||
bootsector, if it is present (the 2-byte field on offset 0x32)
|
||||
(backup copy indeed is not required to be modified, in real life it is not
|
||||
used).
|
||||
|
||||
Under Linux a new bootsector can be installed to the drive /dev/sdb1 (replace
|
||||
with a name of FAT32-volume of any device you want) with the sequence of
|
||||
two following commands:
|
||||
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=BOOT_F32.BIN bs=1 skip=3 seek=3 count=87 conv=notrunc
|
||||
dd if=BOOT_F32.BIN of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc
|
||||
Files mtld_f32 and kolibri.img must be copied as usual.
