No bootable medium found.
I downloaded the DOS 6.22 bootdisk from Bootdisk.com. The boot disk works in a Virtual Machie with Windows XP as the host but not when ArchLinux is the Host OS. I'm using version 2.0.2 of VirtualBox on both Arch and XP
[Edit]
The error I get is "FATAL. No bootable media found. System Halted"

Re: No bootable medium found.
Are you using the .img within the zip? I'm not sure if VirtualBox necessarily supports booting from .img files, but if you're just using it to access a DOS system, why not just install dosbox, or one of the other free dos emulators?

Re: No bootable medium found.
No the exe that I downloaded makes a floppy disk bootable. I mounted the floppy disk to A:\ inside the virtual machine. What I was going to do is see how many OSes I can install and I wanted to start with Windows 95.
