SheepShaver is very slow booting

Which ROM are you using, and what are the permissions set on the file?

I just got CVS today, built it, grabbed both the iMac rom update (1.4) and the 1.6 rom update, used tomeviewer in my quite functional Basilisk-IIjit build (gentoo ebuild) with system 7.5.5 and then launched sheepshaver. I setup everything and then started it with both my old disk images from b2 and a disk tools 8.5. I get the "Welcome to Macintosh" screen and it's been here for about 6-8 minutes.

Kernel 2.6.9-r9-gentoo, gcc 3.3, today's CVS, and above mentioned mac stuffs.

Any ideas would be great!

(PS, I'm very interested in getting this to work. I have an old version of canvas I got from a copmuterarts special cover cd and I'd like to be able to use it under linux, wine won't run it)

PS, tried 1.0 rom too, it was a no go

I'm no expert, but do you get any additional info by launching SheepShaver from a terminal command?

./BasiliskII

That's the only place I do run it, not output at all, other than the normal.

I got this problem too, and you must no floopy driver on your system, the reson is B2/SS try to access your floopy driver, so just do this:

# cd /dev
# mkdir fd_bak
# mv fd* fd_bak

run B2/SS again.

B2 runs, SS doesn't.
