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

 

???

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 ...

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

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 :-)

Yes, you can, see:

http://wiki.opendarwin.org/index.php/Main_Page

http://www.osx86.classicbeta.com/wiki/inde...x.php/Main_Page :)

http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/

script for building darwin: http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/darwinbuild/ or "there's a premade 8.1 package with an installer script":

http://www.rejgond.com/Darwin-8.0.1to8.1.0.tar.gz from this guide http://grabberslasher.no-ip.com/macosx/

 

Generally, first you need download 8.1 sources from http://darwinsource.opendarwin.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

got it working

 

8.1.0

 

:-D

 

Fantastic! :) That hardware you use?

Did you recompiled sources by hand or used Darwin-8.0.1to8.1.0.tar.gz?

 

AMD 3400+ and vmware 5.

 

I used Darwin-8.0.1to8.1.0.tar.gz on a ISO file, copied to a temp directory and run script :-)

 

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:
