Description
After trying several times to successfully install Windows 98 as guest on a virtual machine (and following every bit of advice postet on the internet, including the VirtualBox forums) I still couldn't get Windows 98 running. At first the machine always stopped reacting after restarting itself during the setup during hardware detection (~13/14 minutes stage). After not beeing able to localize the problem I decided to run the virtual machine with VT-x accelaration. This led to unreadable MS-DOS text (but by then I was knowing what commands there were to enter without needing to be able to read anything), but otwerwise worked quite well until VirtualBox crashed (again at about 13 or 14 minutes to go during setup). For further details see attached files. Perhaps there's also a workaround for the unreadable MS-DOS text problem with enabled VT-x acceleration!? (Instead of the text just undefinable nonsense is displayed.)
