I changed so that the config pointed to disk 2, restarted ppc, and I still get the same message:

I click on "installer" and then "quit installer" but nothing happens.. it just waits for cd2 :blink:

(translated from swedish: "Put in the CD Mac OS X Install disc 2 and continue installation. You have chosen to install applications that require this disc") :(

come ooon! anyone?

I been trying to fix this the WHOLE day now.. still doesn't work :( :angry:

According to the guide, I should be able to quit the installer now when it's asking for CD2.

Why doesn't it just quit the installer when I choose to do so?

It just keeps asking for CD2. :crazy:

I'm going crazy.. :cry:

[Menge]

hmmm if i'm not mistaken the dialog asking for cd2 has a "Cancel Installation" button... click it. it'll tell you that you can install those features later on

[Dogan]

here's the picture again.. the buttons are greyed out. I can click on "Installer" and then "Quit installer", but nothing happens..

I've closed down PPC and rebooted, but it still gets me to this message :(

[TheReaperMan]

dogan you can click the cancel button to stop the cd2 install

[Dogan]

dogan you can click the cancel button to stop the cd2 install

It's greyed out, look at the picture.. (avbryt = cancel) :(

[Fozzieb]

Dont cancel or abort, use the menu at the top of the screen to quit, then change to config to boot from hard drive rather than iso image.

if that does not boot , go to page 1 and read all the posts again, like we all did.

dogan i know this is off topic but i was just listning to bob marley and ure frog thing was dancing to the tune of the song

but i think the problem with the cd2 problem is that he is already to far into the installation, and also i highly recomend using cd2 there is some important stuff on there unless ure using the 3gb hd image

[Pootis Spencer]

This is so cool.

Looking for some game that will run under the emu now.

Anyone got any sites for mac wallpaper and themes?

Thanks

[Dogan]

Fozzieb - I wrote several time that I've tried that. I click, but nothing happens.

How do I change it so that it'll boot from hd?

a piece of my config:

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1

pci_ide0_master_image = "D:\PearPC\HD-OS-X-Panther-PREP.img"

#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

pci_ide0_slave_image = "D:\PearPC\MacOSX-10.3\macosx1.iso"

pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

willvg - I'm using the 3gb image.

[ATLien_0]

i switched to the 6gb image so i could installed the extra apps and updates otherwise ure going to be using a very basic osx

[TheReaperMan]

It's greyed out, look at the picture.. (avbryt = cancel) :(

just noticed that also, mmm, maybe you will have to start again?? and not pic somemore of the stuff :no: , unless you had cd2 of couse :D

[TheReaperMan]

maybe its the 3gb image??, i used the 6gb one also, is anyone using the 20gb one at all???

[Dogan]

The wierd thing is that I followed the guide, and it should quit when I choose to do so..

I have CD2 as an .iso, but it's the EXACT same size as CD1. And it brings me to the same dialouge.. :/

[Colin Holywell]

Change

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

to

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

Thats why the button is greyed out I think. And to boot from the hard drive image change the prom_bootmethod to

prom_bootmethod = "select"

That will give you a nice little boot menu which will ask you.

[Fozzieb]

I'm using the 6gig one (sorry)

where did you get the 20Gig one?

[ATLien_0]

i would use the 20gb but my extra hd which is 30 gb is real slow i think 512kb cache. My primary hd is 80gb but if i add anymore to it i would go over the half way point thus slowing windows down. So im just gonna use the 6gb.

Is there anyway to setup in the config file 2 Hard drives and a cd I REALLY WANT THIS

[Fozzieb]

A little background for PearPC

[Fozzieb]

Or

[Dogan]

Change

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 0

to

pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1

Thats why the button is greyed out I think.  And to boot from the hard drive image change the prom_bootmethod to

prom_bootmethod = "select"

That will give you a nice little boot menu which will ask you.

Thanks, that helped alittle. Now I can change CDs :)

I changed cd to disc 2, and now it's continuing the setup.. installing internet explorer and stuffit. :wacko:

I've tried to quit the installer now, but the installer said that I was unable to do so, because the programs that are going to be installed now are important.

Thanks for all your help guys :)

here's a link to the 20GB image, you can get the 6gb from PearPC's site.

20gb PearPC Image

[Stylez Ray.]

could someone post his working config file which you use with the fullscreen version?!? I downloaded it, edited it, but all i get is the msdos window which closes itself before launching pearpc...don't know what I do wrong..when I use the old config file it works...

[jdkramar]

This was stated a long time ago. back on page...15 or so.

How about this one?
