The system updates can either be installed using the Software Update utility (iteratively repeated across many reboots), ![]() In this step we will create a user account and install all of the system updates.Ĭreate a snapshot of the disk (think of this as forking the hard drive): qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 1-fresh.qcow2 2-updates.qcow2 Step 2: User account creation, system updates ![]() Mark the disk as read-only to prevent any accidental writes to it (which would cause any snapshots based on this disk to become corrupt): chmod ugo-w 1-fresh.qcow2 When it completes, it will reboot, which will cause QEMU to exit (due to the -no-reboot flag).Īt this point you may (physically) eject the installation DVD (from your host Mac). ![]() The install will take quite some time (over an hour). Quit Disk Utility and the installer should now see the newly formatted partition: "Erase" the disk to partition and format it: When the installer reaches the disk selection screen, there will be no disks to choose from, because the disk has not been partitioned yet: QEMU will exit when the installer reboots. Quit QEMU and create a 127GB QEMU disk: qemu-img create -f qcow2 1-fresh.qcow2 127Gīoot the install DVD with the disk attached and being the installation. If you see the grey Apple logo, the DVD is working correctly with QEMU: iso to a physical DVD and then use -cdrom /dev/disk2, it works.īoot the DVD to verify it works: qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -cdrom /dev/disk2 -boot d iso files of the OS X installation DVD (using -cdrom tiger.iso),īut if you burn that. Note: for some reason qemu does not seem to be able to boot. In this step we will format the disk and perform the initial OS X installation. ![]() Note: at some point during this process -cdrom /dev/cdrom seems to have stopped working, but -cdrom /dev/disk2 works. This setup was performed using QEMU 5.0.0 (obtained via brew install qemu). Here are some notes on how I set up an installation of OS X Tiger (10.4) ![]()
