SheepShaver doesn't boot from Mac OS 9.cdr image
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:08 am
Hello,
I have sheepshaver working with 9.0.4 using the "Mac OS 9 Boot Image (120 megs)" as supplied by Redendant Robot, http://www.redundantrobot.com/sheepshaver.html. Booting from this image. I was also able to format the Virtual Mac OS 9 disk image as HFS Extended once I booted using the aformentioned 9.0.4 120MB disk image as the boot volume.
The problem
As per https://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sh ... os_x_setup I went to the Macintosh Garden and downloaded the “MacOS904CD_Intl.ZIP” (http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macint ... D_Intl.ZIP)
I decompressed the zip file and successfully created a .cdr file. Using SheepShaverPrefs I point to it but all I get is the flashing question mark disk. I double checked what it could but the issue persists.
The version of sheepshaver I am running is SheepShaver 2.5 (2019-04-01) on Majove 10.14.4
Can someone please let me know what might be wrong? Is it perhaps the Mac Garden Toast file that is causing the issue? I am pretty confident it was the right download because the filename does indeed match the document "Setting up SheepShaver for OSX/macOS on Intel Macs

Thank you in advance.
