Operating System installation instructions

TownsOS v2.1

You will need: - Towns System Software v2.1L51 operating system CD image (software list shortname: tss2151)

  • First, create a blank hard disk image using chdman.
./chdman createhd -o <path to image file> -c none -chs 768,16,16

The CHS values are up to you, they only affect the size of the disk image, the example given will give about a 100MB image. The geometry itself is irrelevant for the FM-Towns as hard disks are SCSI. -c none is also important, as this disables compression, but allows direct writing to the image data (compressed CHDs are read-only).
