Mac OS X doesn't need any disk driver partition to work, but Classic OSes always need driver partitions in order to boot from non-floppies. Open Firmware has successfully loaded the Mac OS ROM, but the CD does not contain OS 9 drivers. When I try to start the emulation, I get met with a gray screen with a gray floppy disk icon with a blinking question mark, and it hangs there.įrom here I read that that floppy disk symbol means I followed the rest of the guide to the letter. I just copied everything from the mac onto a usb flash drive and then packed it all into an ISO.īy following the sheepshaver tutorial I made two volumes, one using the ISO I created and the other as a hard file named Mac OS 8_6.hfv. I'm not the most familiar with using bootable disk images (or OS 8.6 for that matter). I dug out the old IMac G3 with OS 8.6 today, and I'm trying to make a disk image of it so that I can boot it on my windows pc.
