Guide on Installing DP1?
Now i've gotten DP2-4, PB, and Server 1.2v3 installed and fully working. (finally) but DP1 is the last dp, and I'm kind of confused and what to install for it, since (i believe) it needs a modifed openbios. (what i mean is bios files, and other stuff)
and also how to boot to CD and eventually into HDD once installed
Thanks, and hopefully my last question for awhile until I forget how to do this.

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
If I remember correctly, these are the steps that'll work:
1. Make a bash script with the following contents and launch it (file names and formats may differ)
2. Format target disk in Mac OS 9 with Drive Setup.
3. Run Install Mac OS X in Mac OS 9 until you get an error about setting up boot-device (you must get this far to mark the installation target).
4. Shutdown the VM and change the lines to (to specify Mac OS X partition on CD) and to
(to remove Mac OS 9 install CD and replace it with Mac OS X DP1 install CD) and launch the script again.
5. Continue as usual.
1. Make a bash script with the following contents and launch it (file names and formats may differ)

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
I've got a problem here. While I can manage to format the target disk using Mac OS 9, I can't seem to run the OS X installer till completion. Instead, the installer seems to stall when looking for partitions, like this:
I've initialized my disk as "Mac OS Server UFS", and I changed the model to mac99 in my qemu command, as none of my isos seem to boot in g3beige. Mind helping me out here? I'm using the qemu 3.1 build built from the official source that is available here.

Does this help you to install server 1.2v3?

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
That was my thought; the instructions for DP1 shouldn't be too different from the ones for 1.2v3.
Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
Yup, thing is that I can't install any older versions of Server (ie. 1.0.x), nor can I install DP1. They all stall when looking for partitions to install to no matter what OS I run the installers from.Cat_7 wrote:Does this help you to install server 1.2v3?

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
1.0.x won't work because OpenBIOS can't read the firmware PE it presents. However, it was my understanding that DP1 was more forgiving, and you just needed to boot from the bootloader CD that works for 1.2v3, and it would find the OS on the UFS partition itself.

Ah, I see now. Thanks a lot dude, I'll try this out.adespoton wrote:1.0.x won't work because OpenBIOS can't read the firmware PE it presents.

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
Welp, so I tried out the QEMU 4.0 build with the DP1 installer and the Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 CD, using Cat_7's command line. Sadly I don't seem to be making any progress on this front, as setup still stalls for me while looking for the UFS partition.

I tried to install DP1, but I get a kernel panic when I boot from the CD.

Re: Guide on Installing DP1?
It seems installing DP1 can't be done without some patches:
