Help! SheepShaver won't start...

Post by bogan »

I installed SS on MDK 10 with kernel 2.6.3
Got the ROM from 8.6 MacOS CD
I also made a MacOs 8.0 disk with Basilisk (for any mac...)
When I start SS it only prints the MacOS logo and nothing happens....
Don't know what to do any more...
Can anybody help me?

SheepShaver not starting

Post by Cat_7 »

I assume you are starting from the cd rom you took the rom file from?
You created a hard disk file for SheepShaver to use?

Check http://www.ou.nl/open/hsp/engels/sheeps ... index.html for more information.

You could also post your config file here.

No. The Rom comes from Apple (also known on this forum as MOL rom...)
I own a PPC Performa 5300 but it's Rom does not correspond.... And it comes with MacOS 7.5.3.
