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.
Cormac, the testing page needs minor changes.
The line where configure is set, please change the path from "$HOME/os9/qemu-install" to "$HOME/os9-test/qemu-install". The "-test" part is missing.
After the "Run QEMU with the following command:" text, please remove the "cd ..". That would take the user into the home folder rather than in the os9-test folder.
The command that runs QEMU should be free of any '>' characters. They cause files to be made called -bios, -boot, -ccdrom, -M, and -m. It would probably be easier to copy and paste the command if it were on one line.
At the top of the page it talks about having Python 2 installed. The rest of the directions make no mention of using Python. Are you sure it is needed?
Other than the minor issues, the web site looks good. Thank you.
