As noted I'm trying to install NetBSD 9.1 using QEMU. The qemu command line is:
This brings up a yellow background window with the OpenBIOS prompt:qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 \
-prom-env "auto-boot?=true" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" \
-prom-env "vga-ndrv?=true" \
-drive file=NetBSD-9.1-macppc.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom \
-drive file=netbsd.img,format=raw,media=disk \
-device VGA,edid=on \
-display gtk
I then enter the following command:0 >
and <ENTER>.boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf
The system boots from the CD image, with some issues that are better describeed by video, and eventually reaches the prompt for "Terminal type? [vt100]" and then a series of install menus which I answered as appropriate. The most important are that I install to wd0 (4GB), and take the default partitioning. It then begins installing sets:
completed successfully, it then goes tokernGERNERIC, modules, base
and just stops, 0%, forever. As if there is a problem with the ISO file?etc
But, the file I downloaded installed successfully on a real Mac G3 Blue and White. I also checked/rechecked the sha512sum checksum with no errors.
Suggestions on what to do?
