InstallingMacOS

From Mol

Once MOL is installed you can install Mac OS 9 very easly and quickly.

1 1.
2 2.
3 3.
4 4.
5 5.

1.

Create an img disk-image with mol-img with this syntax: mol-img --type=raw --size=4G os.img

If you haven't (like me :-O) mol-img you can install QEMU (Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install qemu) that gives to you a very similar interface. If you use this your syntax must be: qemu-img os.img 4G

Then:

MOL-IMG --> mol-img --type=raw --size=4G os.img

QEMU-IMG --> qemu-img create os.img 4G

2.

Write on the terminal: sudo nano /etc/mol/molrc.macos Go to the section blkdev and after the first uncommented line write: blkdev: /path/to/os.img -rw -force (don't write /path/to/ but write the path to the .img file) Then press Ctrl+X (to close) and answer "Y" to the saving question.

3.

Insert the Mac OS 9 CD in the drive and then write on the terminal: sudo startmol --cdboot Then write your password and wait the system to boot. After the Mac OS 9 Boot-splash will appear a message that asks to format the disk: select HFS+ or Extended HFS and press "Format" (don't worry if the message doesn't appear... you can also use Drive Setup that you can find in /Mac OS 9 Install CD/Utilities). Install Mac OS 9. Then shut down Mac OS 9: mol will close automatically.

4.

Now write on the terminal: sudo nano /etc/mol/molrc.macos

Yes, I know that's the same file of #2... Go to the line that you wrote and at the end of it add: -boot This will let MOL know that you want to boot frome there by default. Press Ctrl+X and re-answer Y to the saving question.
