Would you know how to disable the RTAS? I want to test out these patches but no directions were given on how to disable the node.
Looks like you just missed my latest email - there should be no change required for the RTAS settings.
Ok. If you have tested Cormac's patches, do you see Mac OS 9 booting? I followed all the directions from his testing page and couldn't see anything that belongs to Mac OS 9. Here is the url: http://c-obrien.org/qemu-os9/testing/
I did my test on Mac OS X, so that could be the problem.
Yes I did have it working with the github macos9 branch and the Cormac's github upstream branch earlier in the week. Note that sometimes you can get a hang before the grey screen appears...
If you have a specific problem, reply to the thread on the mailing list and supply a link to a screenshot so other people can test.
I have followed the directions twice from the testing page and have ended up with just this error message: MacOS: unable to find a usable NVRAM partititon - using offset 0x1400.
I am building on Mac OS X, so that could be the problem.
That message is itself not an error, just informational -- OS 9 will reserve some memory to function as the missing NVRAM. It takes a varying amount of time to continue from there but it should be less than 10 seconds.
I let QEMU run for several minutes after the message and never saw anything else. I guess something is different with the Mac OS X build process that prevents Mac OS 9 from working.
