Hi i have gotten USBStick formatted to fat32 and has active partition and bootable.
Have modified win98se install cd with usbaspi.sys and di1000dd.sys. So that USBStick mounts as device as device c: (it does).
Installing Win98se it has got past 'copying all needed files' to USBstick.
Then it reboots (in 15secs)
USBStick autoboots and says 'running win98 for the first time'. But then cannot find drive c:
So files on USBStick stop loading.I need to unmount the usb stick probably in a config.sys (there's no autoexec.bat yet).
Is there a win98 dos command for unmounting a drive. Is there a way to do this, so i can again use usbaspi and di1000dd to continue the win98se cd setup ?
Anyone think of a way to do this or another sollution for it ?

My guess is when booting from the stick the drive letters were changed. If you can specify a drive letter for the stick in config.sys you'd need to add that config.sys to the stick. Lacking any command specifying a drive letter the bios will assign them and I'm not sure where a bootable USB device fits in the drive letter sequence.
You could also try just copying the files in the WIN98 folder on the 98 cd to the USB drive and install from there.
You could try googling for instructions on installing 98 to a USB drive. I know I've run across them before.
