: Hmm.
: Try these steps; they just worked for me to get a bare-bones setup (with just
: the install DVD; once you get it this far, it's trivial to add a blank
: hard drive).
: 1. Download the latest QEMU from here:
: https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.php/s/geJeEn4pispOmjm/download
: 2. cd into the directory and run this: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine .
: 3. Try this qemu.command :
: #!/bin/bash
: cd "$(dirname "$0")"
: ./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 \
: -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -prom-env
: 'vga-ndrv?=true' \
: -drive file=91.dmg,format=raw,media=cdrom \
: -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01 \
: -device VGA,edid=on \
:
: Replace 91.dmg with whatever the filename of your CD/DVD image is.
: Et voila:
: If that doesn't work, I'd suspect the problem is with your CD image. It
: might be that you're using machine-specific images (I just imaged a
: bog-standard 9.1 install disc that I had lying around and installed the
: 9.2 and 9.2.2 updates on it), but the most likely thing is that the image
: is just in the wrong format. I'd try converting it to UDRW, which works
: for me: hdiutil convert -format UDRW input_image.iso -o output_image.dmg
: Or, if Apple's disk image framework will recognize the format, you can just
: attach them nomount and then you end up with a raw device that just about
: always works:
: $ hdiutil attach -nomount Mac\ OS\ 9.1\ Install.dmg
: expected CRC32 $B4475605
: /dev/disk4 Apple_partition_scheme
: /dev/disk4s1 Apple_partition_map
: /dev/disk4s2 Apple_Driver43
: /dev/disk4s3 Apple_Driver43_CD
: /dev/disk4s5 Apple_Driver_ATAPI
: /dev/disk4s6 Apple_Driver_ATAPI
: /dev/disk4s7 Apple_Patches
: /dev/disk4s9 Apple_HFS
:
: Then you just take note of the /dev/diskX path that you get from that, and
: use it as your CD image. So:
: #!/bin/bash
: cd "$(dirname "$0")"
: ./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 \
: -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -prom-env
: 'vga-ndrv?=true' \
: -drive file=/dev/disk4,format=raw,media=cdrom \
: -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01 \
: -device VGA,edid=on \
:
: Does it work?
:
: This is actually the trick I always use. The reason I like it is because it
: lets me leave my CD/DVD images in compressed format, and my hard drive
: images in sparsebundle format, saving some disk space. YMMV of course.
: Once you get something installed on your main drive, you can go download the
: "screamer" fork to get sound support. It seems to be a bit less
: stable, though, so I'd still use the main build to do the actual
: installation.
What if I have an old .ROM and .hfv from basilisk/sheepshaver, does that work? I thought I'd need to find an iso and use qemu-image to make an image.
