Running OSX After install

[trm96]

How do you actually run the OS after it installs? This sounds like a dumb question but it is puzzling me. I installed it fine but i dont know how to make it run after install.

hi,

use select in config file:

prom_bootmethod = "select"

after ppc start, choose partition 2

Hello, I'm having a probem as well.
Okay, when I boot up the configuration file, I can select 2 partitions:

Code: Select all

1. partition 9 of 'cdrom0' (Mac_OS_X/Apple_HFS)
2. partition 2 of 'disk0' (Apple_HFS_Untitled_2/Apple_HFS)

So I select the 2nd partition, and it boots up, and gets stuck at this:

Code: Select all

localhost:/ root#

And I know you're probably gonna say, "Well, try partition 1." Well, I tried that as well and it booted up and got stuck at:

Code: Select all

-sh-2.05b#

I don't get this. OS X is installed and everything should be configured properly(Yes, the partitions were reordered properly as well). So, I'll post my configuration file so you guys can help me:

Code: Select all

# PearPC Configuration File

# Resolution

#	0: 640x480x8 (indexed)
#	1: 640x480x15
#	2: 640x480x32
#	3: 800x600x8 (indexed)
#	4: 800x600x15
#	5: 800x600x32
#	6: 1024x768x8 (indexed)
#	7: 1024x768x15
#	8: 1024x768x32
#
#	The indexed modes are unsupported.
#	
#	default: 4
ppc_start_resolution = 4


#
# Redraw interval (in ms)
# must be between 1 and 999
#
# If you set this higher, PearPC will spend less time doing redraws (and so run faster)
# but feel less responsive. You should adjust this to your computer speed and personal
# preference.
#
redraw_interval_msec = 200

#
# Loader 
#

#
#	Boot method
#	  this can be
#	  1. "auto", prom will boot the first bootable partition found (default)
#	  2. "select", prom will show you a list of bootable partitions
#	  3. "force", prom will load and boot the local file prom_loadfile
#
prom_bootmethod = "select"

# Example of how to use "force":
#prom_bootmethod = "select"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

#
#	bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
#	machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
#

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
prom_env_machargs = "-s"

#
#	This is needed if you want to boot Mac OS X
#

prom_driver_graphic = "C:\pearpc\video.x"


# This will adjust the position of the initial page table (don't change)
#page_table_pa = 104857600

#
# CPU Config
#
#	Processor Version Register
#	Defaults to 0x00088302
#	Only change if you know want you are doing
#
#cpu_pvr = 0x00088302


#
# Main memory (default 128 MiB)
# must be >= 64 MiB
#
#memory_size=0x8000000

# IO Devices
#

#
#	PCI IDE Config
#
#	Drive type will be set according to file extension:
#		.img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
#		.iso: CD-Rom
#	Or you can override this by specifying the type via
#	pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "C:\pearpc\PantherImage.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "C:\pearpc\PantherImage.img"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "C:\pearpc\osx.iso"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

#
#	Network (unavailable on windows)
#
pci_3c90x_installed = 0
pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

#
#	USB
#
pci_usb_installed = 1

#
#	NVRAM
#
nvram_file = "nvram"

So please, if anyone is out there that can help me, please do(Also note that I tried this with getting rid of the # in:

Code: Select all

#prom_env_bootargs = ""

and it still didn't work).

[slydecix]

you need to comment out the networking stuff by adding a # in front of each of the two lines, like this:

#pci_3c90x_installed = 0
#pci_3c90x_mac = "de:ad:ca:fe:12:34"

[A Confused Kyle]

After I've done that do I now select partition 2 or partition 1?

[A Very Confused Kyle]

Nope, nevermind. It still doesn't work on either partition even went I comment out those lines. *sigh*, I've been trying to get this thing figured out for like 3 days now, and it's still not working. Anybody else have any clues as to why it's not working?

[Guest]

same thing happened to me . DELETE THE NVRAM file in your pearpc directory. also try this.


looking at your setup.


prom_env_machargs = "-s"

needs to be commented out


prom_driver_graphic = "C:\pearpc\video.x"

should be

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

WOW, thanks a lot Guest! I'm gonna post some screenshots soon :D .
