Installing OS X (10.2) on a PC

[KeR]

you have to edit the config file so it points to the right directory and files.

you have to edit the config file so it points to the right directory and files.

Yea you have to make a copy of ppccfg.example in the directory, then open up your copy in notepad and make the correct changes to point it to you[r] fake harddrive (the .b2z or whatever you dl) and CDROM (.iso of Mac CD).

Such as here.

Is there a way to change a .dmg to .iso on PC? I looked on Google but everyone was how to change it on a Mac.

#
#	bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
#	machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
#

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-s"
prom_env_machargs = ""

is that what you did ? I did this and it just booted the cd (this is all before step 13)

i also tried

#
#	bootargs: don't change unless you know what you are doing
#	machargs: set to "-v" to get a verbose startup
#

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-v"
prom_env_machargs = "-s"

and it just booted the cd

[Jimmerz28]

Nope I changed the "" you have to the path of the file.

I got this far...but then it hangs and I get this...

[plainold]

@fahad: hmmm, my mistake; you have to do step 13 THEN do this, try that.

Did you configure your config file to point to your .img & .iso files?

Try renaming the .img file. I did just to make things simpler...I dunno if it will work :pinch:

thats weird, you sure you put the partitions in right order?

#:type name lenght( size )

1:Apple_partition_map Apple63 @ 1

2:Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 602870 @ 262208 (2.9G)

3:Apple_Freebsp0+@ 64

4:Apple_Free0 +@ 6 290912

after this try to deslect you cd-rom before you boot!
