anyone trying to install darwin on a virtual machine ?

i've successfully installed Darwin8.01 in VMWare, however ihaven't tried to install/compile the 8.1


there is also MSVirtualPC, Bochs, Plex86, and who knows....



any success on virtual hardware ?

[MacZero]

VirtualPC no luck.... kernel failure and crash.
VMware only function if the cpu also supports sse2

Maybe somebody tried 'only' qemu (has capability to emulate sse2)?

[evolver56k]

i tried qemu... no luck.  it just locks qemu up and you have to force quit it.

You can create an ISO image file with Nero (Windows) or cdrecord (GNU/Linux) then load it as a virtual CD-ROM drive from VMWare and mount  it in the Darwin command line with mount -t cd9660 <device> <mountpoint>.

I don't know about any AMD PCNET network card (the one that VMWare emulates) driver for Darwin, so currently networking with Darwin under VMWare is impossible, as far as I know.

I try this:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/disks1 /mnt

and I get:

mount_cd9660 no such file or directory

???

All the instructions for that kind of stuff can be found at www.opendarwin.org

VMWare, found this via torrents.



Look at the mounted CD image, it boots darwin but hangs.  :cry:

[Mr. Bond]

How big's the Iso Scribbler?

[Scribbler]

I didn't make it, just downloaded it, it's a darwin instal, the ISO isn't included and it doesn't appear to give a file size anywhere.

Dude, your guest OS is Windows XP Pro you set up VMware incorrectly!

Can you even read?
I DIDN'T MAKE THE VIRTUAL MACHINE, I DOWNLODED IT.

Anyway, you can set the guest OS as whatever the fk you like aslong as you set the HDD to IDE ...

Probably, there are no  mount_cd9660 command.
Try issue which mount_cd9660 first.

[lars]

I was doing it the wrong way. which mount_cd9660 is ok.

Now I have tried:

mount -t cd9660 /dev/disk1s0 /mnt/cdrom

but I get this:

mount: realpath /mnt: No such path or directory

should I create /mnt ? How ?

thx,

Yes, of course
mkdir /mnt
or you may choose another name, for example /cdrom, like in FreeBSD  :twisted:
Do not forget substitute proper folder to mount utility.
And you may use mount_cd9660 directly:
mount_cd9660 /dev/diskXsY /somedir

[lars]

I got it !!! :-)

from the main directory:

mkdir mnt
mkdir mnt/cdrom

mount -t cd9660 /dev/disk1s0 /mnt/cdrom

no errors, and then I do a

cd /mnt/cdrom
ls -l

and the ISO (built with ultraiso) is there!!! :-)

Now lets see if I can upgrade to 8.1 ;-)

Hopefully this may be of help to others :-)

My congratulations!
It was simply unix commands...

Yes, you can, see:
http://wiki.opendarw...x.php/Main_Page
http://www.osx86.cla...x.php/Main_Page
http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/
script for building darwin: http://darwinsource....rg/darwinbuild/ or "there's a premade 8.1 package with an installer script":
http://www.rejgond.c...1to8.1.0.tar.gz from this guide http://grabberslashe...-ip.com/macosx/

Generally, first you need download 8.1 sources from http://darwinsource....win.org/10.4.1/

I can`t do it (for) myself, because a have no sse2 processor  
but before I successfuly compiled darwin 7.9 from src on my AthlonXP
