Hi.
Recently I found there a guide to install Mac OS X DP1, but I ran into a problem following it: I'm a Windows user and I don't have any tools to execute bash scripts. Can someone please convert that guide to Windows guide?
Guide on installing DP1? (not bash)

Re: Guide on installing DP1? (not bash)
Which guide are you referring to? We've been discussing a few recently.
For the bits that require bash though, you're going to have trouble on Windows unless you install Linux compatibility or cygwin or similar, as the tools being used aren't available on plain Windows -- you need an image creation tool that can write the very specific partition formats to very specific locations, and Windows doesn't support those formats.
But don't despair -- some of the guides available include links to pre-formatted image blanks you can use instead of the bash scripts.

Ah; if you're just talking about the boot scripts, you can just change the end of line /'s to ^'s for a batch script, or put it all on one line. qemu-system-ppc will of course become qemu-system-ppc.exe.

No matter what I try, it's saying that it can't open the HDD disk image. It also complained about USB, so I deleted that. Here's my patched QEMU.BAT:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe -g 800x600x32 -boot d -M g3beige -m 512M -cpu G3 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -prom-env 'boot-device=cd:,\\:tbxi' -prom-env -drive file="MacOSX_DP1.qcow2",format=qcow2,index=0,media=disk -drive file=InstallMacOS922.iso,format=raw,index=2,media=cdrom -drive file=InstallMacOSXDP1.iso,format=raw,index=3,media=cdrom

Hmm... that looks fine to me: MacOSX_DP1.qcow2, InstallMacOS922.iso and InstallMacOSXDP1.iso all exist in the directory you're running from? Both the iso files are actually functional?

Yes, all of they exist. DP1 ISO can be damaged, because I accidentally tried to open it with WinRAR.

Update: I redownloaded the DP1 ISO. It's still giving me the same error.
