Can't get Qemu to boot

Post by celebi23 »

So, I've followed the preparation steps in the Running qemu-system-m68k with A/UX 3.x guests in macOS guide. Here's what my qemu-m68k.command file looks like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$0")"

./qemu-system-m68k-AUX-alpha
-L pc-bios \
-m 128 \
-M q800 \
-serial stdio \
-bios Quadra800.rom \
-g 800x600x8 \
-net nic,model=dp83932 -net user \
-drive file=pram-aux.img,format=raw,if=mtd \
-device scsi-hd,scsi-id=0,drive=fd0,vendor="SEAGATE",product="ST225N",ver="1.0" \
-drive file=AUXBootfloppy.img,media=disk,format=raw,if=none,id=fd0 \
-device scsi-hd,scsi-id=1,drive=hd0,vendor="SEAGATE",product="ST225N",ver="1.0" \
-drive file=AUX301.img,media=disk,format=raw,if=none,id=hd0 \
-device scsi-cd,scsi-id=3,drive=cd0,vendor="MATSHITA",product="CD-ROM CR-8005",ver="1.0k" \
-drive file=AUX_3.0.1_Install.toast,format=raw,media=cdrom,if=none,id=cd0 
When I try launching the qemu-m68k.command file, I get this error in Terminal:
line 5: -L: command not found

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong/missing.

Hi,

It seems you are missing one "\"

./qemu-system-m68k-AUX-alpha \

If this slash is not there, the rest of the command line will not be read ;-)

:shock: :lol:

I didn't even catch that. Thanks :lol: So, it boots but, I'm stuck at this screen now:

The installer shows up in brief flashes but, I can't interact with it.

Hi,

This looks like it is host speed related, you (and others) have to wait for a fix.
