Re: instructions for installing OS/2 Additions?
There is a long(ish) post called Set up an OS/2 Warp4 VM with networking (and shared folders). Have you read it and followed the instructions there?

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

DISK1.DSK is never mentioned in these instructions...

Re: instructions for installing OS/2 Additions?
This is how I did it in 2016... You might begin by checking the VirtualBox manual on Guest Additions for OS/2.
VirtualBox Guest Additions Driver for OS/2 (Beta)
Prerequisites:
VirtualBox Guest Additions Driver for OS/2 (Beta)
Prerequisites:
- the generic VESA gradd driver is being used (gengradd)
- boot to the OS/2 command prompt (alt-f1 while the white blob is displayed during early boot, then f2)
- copy all files into the directory c:\OS2Additions
- make a backup copy of c:\os2\dll\gengradd.dll
- copy our gengradd.dll to c:\os2\dll
- copy libc06*.dll to c:\os2\dll
- comment out the 'device=c:\os2\boot\mouse.sys' line in c:\config.sys (put 'rem' in front)
- append 'device=c:\OS2Additions\vboxguest.sys' to c:\config.sys
- append 'device=c:\OS2Additions\vboxmouse.sys' to c:\config.sys
- add 'c:\OS2Additions\VBoxService.exe' to the start of c:\startup.cmd
- reboot

Re: instructions for installing OS/2 Additions?
what are the command line commands used to do this? I'm not that experienced with os/2 so I need help.ghr wrote:This is how I did it in 2016... You might begin by checking the VirtualBox manual on Guest Additions for OS/2.
Re: instructions for installing OS/2 Additions?
There is not a single command for that. You need to copy some files around, and edit your config.sys file.papperboy3498 wrote: what are the command line commands used to do this? I'm not that experienced with os/2 so I need help.
Names and dirs and driveletters depends on your OS/2 version, and how you installed it.
