MacZero Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evolver56k Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 i tried qemu... no luck. it just locks qemu up and you have to force quit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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>.

blex0r Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 i heard something about ftp but can't figure it out from guides on the net.any ideas? 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.

Scribbler Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 VMWare, found this via torrents. Look at the mounted CD image, it boots darwin but hangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribbler Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribbler Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 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 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuzmich Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I try this: mount -t cd9660 /dev/disks1 /mnt and I get: mount_cd9660 no such file or directory ??? Probably, there are no mount_cd9660 command. Try issue which mount_cd9660 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 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 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuzmich Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I got it !!! :-) My congratulations! It was simply unix commands...

Kuzmich Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 AMD 3400+ and vmware 5.Amazing... Lucky :wink: Why vmware? You wan`t to get it in on real PC? It seems to me, is easier to get it running @vm with pearpc. P.S.: a can't get it for now, because there are no places near me, there I cat get ASUS A8N-SLI Premium mobo I will try to play with qemu 0.7 to build sse2less darwin :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Why vmware? You wan`t to get it in on real PC? Sure, but now using vmware I can install ISOs as CDs, easily copy files, etc. up to we get the real thing... 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
