0 KlyX Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 @leo: After you run Darwin a first time to make the partition, you must boot darwin one more time. Where you entered 'shell' the last time, you have to enter 1 (hit Enter) and afterward type 0 (and hit Enter). Then Darwin would create the bootable partitions. When Darwin starts to install, you can shut down PPC and reboot it with the OS-X installation iso. Good night KlyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 at what point does it stall? Hmmm..something like "Installing Administrator Utilities" or something like that. I think I posted it in this thread yesterday. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jedavis1 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I can run iPhoto and iTunes, albeit not fast and can't do much with em but I can definitely move around the desktop and do stuff. You can use iTunes and stuff and I can get beat at a game of Chess (albeit, I wasn't really trying too hard, not that it would have made a difference!)

Good night KlyX i never had to do that. :blink: I just booted off the 10.2 isos and used disk utility to create my partition and setup the disk. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gablagloire Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I am really thinking about buying mac os x but I want to try it first. Should i go to a friend who has it (legally) and try it on their computer? I think that by the time i buy os x that a new verson of the emulator will be out for me to play with.

0 Starman Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Installed CD1 and also used Disk Manager to format the "hard drive". Upon "reboot", the system could not boot from the "hard drive". I suppose this means you really DO need to format the "hard drive" with Darwin. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KlyX Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 @XP-Viper: You have to make a change in your Config-File, so that PPC isn't booting automatically from the first device. Search the line: prom_bootmethod = "auto" and change it into "select". So when you reboot you can choose the corect partition... @Starman: Yes, I suppose too. All these, which have installed OS X without Darwin would have problems, when they want to reboot ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KlyX Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Same problem as the problems above... You have to use Darwin first. On the PearPC site, there is a short complete docu of what you have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
