The IMG disk image (has a HFS files system) was created using FTK Disk Imager and was extracted from a ZIP drive. The disk image was able to mount and show on the desktop of an OS 9.02 guest on a SheepShaver virtualization. However, some of the files on the IMG disk image need Microsoft 98 and a faster processor than can be provided on Sheepshaver, which is why I'm looking at using QEMU.
In QEMU I was able to install OS 9.2.1 and mount ISO disk images from Macintosh Garden without any problems. When I mount the HFS formatted disk image it doesn't mount or show up on the desktop but I can initialize it in the Drive Setup program (I don't want to loose the information on the image). I tried a OS 9 system installed on a Mac Extended and Mac Standard format but the result was the same.
Is there anyway to mount and access the files on the disk image in QEMU?
Thanks
Here is the script to start the OS 9 guest in QEMU:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe ^
-L pc-bios ^
