Use core=dynamic for a faster install.
Turn OFF the "non-recursive page fault" option during
the install phase. Leaving it on guarantees that DOSBox
(with core=dynamic) will segfault after the 2nd reboot.
I have no idea at this time what the segfault is about.
You can turn the non-recursive page fault back on later.
For the first phase of the install, make sure
you set:
dynamic core cache block size=32
Let it install then reboot. Stop the emulation
before it starts booting again, and change it to:
dynamic core cache block size=1
For the rest of the install, leave it at that
setting.
The setup phase may show some invalid page fault
dialog boxes (for some reason). If you ack them,
Windows will make it through the install and
boot up properly.
Do not change the dynamic core cache block size
back to 32. Windows 98 will become unstable and
DOSBox will likely segfault at some point, usually
when opening the Control Panel.
