Very succinct tutorial for installing and booting Jaguar 10.2 via Qemu on Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A) Qemu installation
(Thanks to
superpete, I got the link to
neozeed's page here :
http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?p=3223. We own a lot of thanks to
Jason (
neozeed) for his release of
Qemu 1.6.0 pre-3 OS X binaries).
Download the
PowerPC package. Decompress the .7z. You get a folder you can make your Qemu folder renaming it to
qemu (for instance, a name easy to type in the
Terminal). Decompress the
glib.tar, to a
usr folder. Go down inside to the
lib folder, into which are the
dylib files. You are ready to locate the files to their home.
Go to the Finder menu : GO → Go to folder… and type in the writing field of the popping window :
and press the GO button. The 'lib' directory window opens. You have just to select every file in the '
lib' folder you got from decompressing the
glib.tar + the two .
dylib (
libintl.8.dylib and
libpixman-1.0.dylib) which are directly inside the
qemu-1.60-pre3 folder renamed
qemu and move them into the
usr/local/lib opened by the Finder. Re-start if you want. You are done regarding
Qemu installation. You can delete the
glib.tar now. Just to finishing, move the
qemu folder inside kind of a definitive directory, I suggest near your
SheepShaver folder for instance. You will have in the
Terminal to log-in inside that folder to make easy the boot & install command.
Qemu has no GUI (Graphical User Interface) but works from command line in the
Terminal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B) Disk Utility
You have to make a disk-image
Qemu will consider as a hard-drive. Open
Disk Utility, ask for a
new image to be created, and go on thus (for example) :
new image :
Jaguar, name :
Jaguar, size :
4,6 Go DVD-R/DVD-RAM, format :
Mac OS Extended (journalized), encrypting :
none, Partitions :
unique, Table of partition GUID, image format :
Master DVD/CD → a
Jaguar.cdr will be created.
In the folder called '
qemu', you must have before starting from now on :
pc-bios,
qemu-system-ppc,
jaguar.cdr,
osxdisk1.iso (I forgot to mention you need a Jaguar .iso version of the 2 install cd. For my part, I find Suede a nice country for short trips - hey! why holly crap am I mentioning Suede?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C) Terminal
Now open a
Terminal window (for newbies : never close the
Terminal whilst
Qemu is working. You quit
Terminal,
Qemu isn't executed any longer).
You can pass the following commands :
- for newbies : press ↩ to activate the command. The 'cd' command means '
change
directory' and will log you inside the directory at the end of the path. The 'path_to_folder' is the path from the mount point / of the OS, eg.
/Applications just followed in the end by the folder-name '
/qemu' = the target if
qemu is inside the
Applications directory. Which gives as an exemple :
Now you can type in the
Terminal bash :
Code: Select all
./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios/ -m 256 -M g3beige -hda ./Jaguar.cdr -cpu G3 -boot d -cdrom ./osxdisk1.iso
(and ↩)
[Previous command can be customized. The general idea is just to ask
qemu executive first to start, then to select the ROM folder by its name (
pc-bios), the RAM size (
256), the Mac model (
g3beige only working here), the kind of processor (
cpu G3) and to indicate both the .cdr as hard drive on which installing (by
-hda) =
Jaguar.cdr and the .iso as Install CD/DVD on which booting =
osxdisk1.iso (as
cdrom) with mention of boot preference =
boot d to ask
Qemu to boot from Install.iso (other sequences of arguments are available, I tried several, all working).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D) Booting
Qemu boots on
osxdisk1.iso,
green screen with Apple logo, spinning
wheel,
brown screen +
pointer (alt + CTRL releases the Host pointer off
Qemu's window),
Mac OS X,
preparing installation,
installer window.
Don't go ahead here into the installer window, but to top menu =
installer, open
Disk Utility, select
4,77 GB QEMU (device, not volume),
Erase, format :
Mac OS Extended, name :
Jaguar (keyboard : QWERTY),
no install Mac OS 9 Drivers, then
Erase and quit
Disk Utility.
Come back to the installer window, select
language,
continue ---
license → select
disk for installation =
Jaguar ,
continue,
Install.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E) Process of installation
Preparation process, then installation
processing on screen in
Qemu window.
Count 1 hour and 7'. Installation completed, the
Installer prompts you to re-restart (your emulated computer), but that kind of re-starting only re-boots the installation
osxdisk1.iso and the installer. So quit the
QEMU window instead of making loops.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F) Launching Jaguar 10.2
Go back to your
Terminal window and type the command (supposing you are still logged into the
qemu folder) :
Code: Select all
./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios/ -m 256 -M g3beige -hda ./Jaguar.cdr -cpu G3
Green windowed screen with Apple logo, spinning
wheel (takes a while to boot),
brown screen,
Mac OS X loading,
brown screen again with
pointer (takes a while again), you are prompted to install
additional software (CD n°2). Just
quit installation instead, you will manage that after.
Now you are in the
welcome window. Selection of
country,
language,
registering (for the Capitals and digits, I have to press the
LEFT shift of my Mac keyboard, the right one not recognized), creation of
user's account,
Internet configuration (you can skip for the moment),
Time preferences,
Finish.
Brown screen, then
blue one and here you are into your
brand-new session of
Jaguar emulated by
Qemu :
I quit here that short tutorial, not willing to go ahead into
customizing the emulated
Jaguar and handling a series of
trouble shootings
