Getting the content of the startup disk on a larger volume is something we can discuss later. Let us first move your stuff to a regular SheepShaver setup.
1. You need to get the startup image from within COI:
- Right-click (or control-click) on the 'COI (Classic-On-Intel) V4.0.1 "Chubby Bunny"' icon in the Finder.
- Choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu.
..... You will now see a Finder window containing a file "COI" (which is really a package) and a folder "Contents".
- Launch Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/).
- At the prompt in Terminal type
and a space (do not forget the space and do not yet hit return!).
- Drag the COI icon from the Finder into the Terminal window.
..... The path to the COI package will appear after cd.
- With the Terminal window in front, hit return.
- Then, at the new prompt, type in Terminal:
Code: Select all
cp .Classic.dmg ~/Desktop/MacOS9.dsk
followed by a return.
..... A copy of the COI startup disk image will appear on your desktop with the name "MacOS9.dsk".
2. Search the web for "redundant robot sheepshaver" (without the quotes). On the Redundant Robot site, find the "New World PPC ROM" download link. Get that file and rename it "Mac OS ROM" (without the quotes and without a file name extension). Check in Finder Info for the file that it has indeed no file name extension.
3. Download the recommended SheepShaver build from this sticky topic in the SheepShaver forum:
http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewto ... =20&t=7360
You can place the SheepShaver folder anywhere you like.
4. Use the scripts in that folder to delete both the prefs file and the nvram file. (After this you should not launch COI anymore, because that will again create those files with content that is specific to COI.)
5. Move both the "MacOS9.dsk" image file (from your desktop) and the "400Meg.dmg" image file (from /Users/Shared), as well as the "Mac OS ROM" file, into the SheepShaver folder.
6. Create a folder (you can give it any name you like) that will be your future SheepShaver shared folder. Create that folder in a convenient location that can be easily accessed (like on your desktop). Move from the /Users/Shared/ folder the folder "Desktop Folder" and possible other files or folders you used for SheepShaver in your previous shared folder/Unix disk (other than the 400Meg volume) to the newly created folder.
Now you are ready to configure SheepShaver. See the setup manual:

- Read the Introduction, it contains useful information.
- You can skip the first part of "Setting up SheepShaver" until "Configuring SheepShaver".
- Follow the instructions for configuring SheepShaver with one exception:
After adding the ROM file, you are instructed under "Volumes" to create a disk image file "MacOS9". Instead, you add your two existing image files using the Add button. First you add MacOS9.dsk and then you add 400Meg.dmg. The result should be that in the volumes list MacOS9.dsk appears on the first line and 400Meg.dmg appears on the second line.
- Proceed with setting your new shared folder as "Unix Root" and follow further instructions.
- After "7. Quit SheepShaver" you are ready. You can skip "Booting SheepShaver and installing the system". When you now launch SheepShaver, you will see the desktop as it appeared in COI.
- Read the information in "Running Mac OS in SheepShaver" and below. It contains useful information.
