So if anyone has ran NeXTSTEP on v86 in the past, whats the procedure for doing so?

I tried installing NextSTEP 3.3 and OpenSTEP 4.2, but no luck.
About NextSTEP 3.3, while installation I choosed Primary/Secondary(Dual) EIDE and ATAPI Device Controllers (v3.35) (can be found on beta driver floppy). On starting system, I get cyclic error like hc0: ATA command c4 failed. Retrying... (and some errors about Floppy controller, but I disabled it)

However, there is a problem with *Step that they cannot be installed on new versions of QEMU (https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11469), so it will be difficult to debug :(
