Because PDOS/386 now supports (a subset of) the OS/2 API,
it can be considered a mini-OS/2-clone already.

However, it ships with zero LX executables.

At the end of the section "PDOS/386 hard drive image"
there is now a pdoso.zip which contains a VHD that
can be mounted on either Windows or Virtualbox.

However, when I add it Virtualbox for my ArcaOS
guest, it doesn't appear as my D drive. I don't
see it at all.

I tried running "lvm" and by going to "physical view"
I could see the disk, which supposedly is full of
"free space".

This is a FAT32, MBR and the partition starts at
sector LBA 128, not LBA 63.

Is that an issue?

Note that if I could mount it, I was going to do:

d:
path %path%;d:\dos
cd \devel\pdos\pdpclib
pdmake -f makefile.sos
cd \devel

attempt to unzip \misc\custom gcc-stag*
unzip gcc-stage*
cd gcc\gcc
copy config\i386\genfiles
pdmake -f os2.mak

Also note that although you can boot PDOS/386 from
the pdoso.vhd, it will boot fine, but you won't be
able to do the above because of bugs that have
already been fixed and a new release is expected
in the coming hours.

Any idea how to make the volume available, or what
I need to do to make it acceptable to ArcaOS?

Thanks. Paul.
