Test VM - t-nt310 - Windows NT 3.1 no service pack ==================================================== Setup: - Configure a VM t-nt310 with using the Windows NT 3.x settings, but with only 64 MiB RAM (can't detect more) and 512 MiB disk (2GiB fails NTFS conversion). - Enable COM1. - Make sure networking is NAT and PCNET. - Make sure you're using BusLogic for both HD and DVD-ROM. - Enable DNS proxying: VBoxManage modifyvm t-nt310 --natdnsproxy1 on. - Optionally set 486 as the CPU profile (may avoid install problems): VBoxManage modifyvm t-nt310 --cpu-profile "Intel 80486" - Install the OS. - PCNet are not included on install media, so get them of the net and install via floppy when it fails to detect NICs. - Use 'password' as Administrator password. - Open the system settings and add an environment variable "SystemDrive" with the value "C:" (NT 3.50 and later sets this automagically). - while in the system settings, reduce the boot wait to 1 second. - Open the network settings and add the TCPIP protocol. Configure it with IP 10.0.2.15/24, gateway 10.0.2.2, and DNS 10.0.2.3 (via "Connections..." button). - Reboot and check that you can ping stuff. - Add regular user 'test' without a password. - Insert the ValidationKit ISO and install the test execution service, see vboxtxs-readme.txt for details. Heed the NT 3.x bits. - Eject the CD, reboot and test that the TXS works. Do N O T install guest additions!
