Talk:Mac OS X Tiger build 8A297

Help on installing

I tried installing this build. The first part was good, as soon as I restarted, it was stuck in the blank screen for about an hour with no difference whatsoever. Here are my lines of code for the installation:

Make HDD: qemu-img create image.img 16g

Partition using Mac OS 9.1: qemu-system-ppc -L qemu-screamer/pc-bios -cpu "g4" -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -hda image.img -cdrom "macos_91_ppc.iso" -boot d -g 1024x768x32 -sdl

Installation: qemu-system-ppc -L openbios-ppc -boot d -M mac99 -m 1024 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' -drive file=8A297.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=image.img,format=raw,media=disk -device adb-mouse -device adb-keyboard -g 1024x768x8 -rtc base=2004-11-27,clock=vm -net none -sdl

Post installation: qemu-system-ppc -L openbios-ppc -boot c -M mac99 -m 1024 -prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true' -drive file=image.img,format=raw,media=disk -device adb-mouse -device adb-keyboard -g 1024x768x8 -rtc base=2004-11-27,clock=vm -net none -sdl

Any help on this? --ClassicMacOSGuy1067 (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

I guess you were not supposed to partition and format the drive using Mac OS 9.1. The Mac OS X installer has Disk Utility built-in, so you should try using that instead. NaraInsider1694 (talk) 05:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

I tried to use the built in disk utility in OS X 10.4 but the OOBE doesn't show up. ClassicMacOSGuy1067 (talk) 16:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Never mind, I got it. ClassicMacOSGuy1067 (talk) 22:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
