Openstep Installation Guide

This is my notes on installing onto Qemu. I had originally posted this on bsdnexus, however the links I had used for the graphics are nolonger working. Please note that I’m not going to build an 'accelerated' version of, I’m trying to keep this build as 'stable' as possible. I'm going to assume you know how to use vi.

I would recommend trying the 0.9.0 before you try anything else. 0.8.0 seems somewhat unstable, and the busmouse driver doesn't work on 0.9.1.

I've tried to keep links to QEMU up to date, but official site no longer carries the old stuff so it'll probably fall into disrepair eventually. It is worth nothing that my Pentium 3 cannot start the GUI portion. I really don’t know why. (I did try -O1 for CFLAGS) Also with regard to the NeXTSTEP part I'm using ISO images. I have just had too many problems with the physical media.

Guide: Openstep 4.2 in VirtualBox Installation of OpenStep 4.2 in VMware 3.0 and VirtualBox Quick OpenSTEP VMWare Fusion Success You'll need 'Openstep-4.2-Intel-User.iso' and 'Openstep-4.2-Intel-Developer.iso' from the usual places. A boot floppy in which the extension '.floppyimage' has been.

For reference: You'll need 'Openstep-4.2-Intel-User.iso' and 'Openstep-4.2-Intel-Developer.iso' from the usual places. A boot floppy in which the extension '.floppyimage' has been changed to '.img' so it can be mounted in VB. The middle site for a special bugfixed driver floppy image, and of course the boot floppy. Follow the first link with notes that one may want to change the HDD type (VMDK) if you want to import to another hypervisor. Also when one get's down to drivers needed.

The EIDE and floppy are needed so don't follow directions blindly. The last link for some of what to do once in OpenStep. The mouse will at first be slightly wonky so go slow till you fix it.

I was about to post that network support has been broken in VirtualBox for several years (specifically, the AMD PCNet emulation, which is the only network card VirtualBox emulates that Openstep has drivers for), but has finally been fixed! After upgrading VirtualBox my Openstep VM can now talk on the network, hooray! I've never bothered messing around with extra driver floppies during installation; rather I just used the generic Primary/Secondary dual EIDE/ATAPI driver, and installed the Intel PIIX IDE driver (which supports DMA) later. However, for my most recent attempt, I explored VirtualBox's storage options, and discovered they can emulate a BusLogic SCSI card, which Openstep supports. VirtualBox recommends using SATA, SAS, or SCSI instead of IDE if the guest OS supports it, so I tried out the BusLogic emulation. The only thing I've found online re: BusLogic and Openstep was people saying it did not work in VMware, but in VirtualBox it's worked perfectly for me. Supports 15 SCSI IDs -- I threw an extra ISO on ID 14 and it worked fine -- and performance is great.

Also SCSI disks can be larger than the 8.4GB limit of the ancient IDE drivers, but you need custom partitioning/disktabs/etc. (4GB partition limit), so with 15 IDs available it's easier to add another virtual disk. Mouse acceleration was a little off but after setting it to the lowest setting in Preferences.app and turning down the DPI for the PS/2 mouse in Configure.app (it takes effect instantly), I got a reasonable mouse.

The only confusing thing is that on an OS X host, the mouse pointer is exactly the same as in Openstep (imagine that!) so I can't tell whether the guest has captured it just by the mouse pointer.

The main issue I haven't gotten around is getting it to use a display driver other than the SVGA one. Otherwise one's stuck in grayscale. Some points to consider since I just got OpenStep 4.2 up and running under VirtualBox 5.1 The.ISO's are here: The boot floppies and driver floppies are here: I tried getting the system to install with a IDE setup as detailed in the first guide, but no go. So since the first device is the CD-ROM, I added a buslogic SCSI controller to my VM and told the installer to use the PCI SCSI BusLogic controller.

For the HDD, which is the 2nd step of configuring your drives, IDE works, just follow the guide or use 7775. Now to finish the setup and see about getting color going. EDIT: You can find a bunch of S/W here: EDIT 2: The second guide in OP's post is defunct. Also for color graphics you will need the Y2k Patch 4 from here: I made an ISO out of it, mounted the ISO inside the VM on my SCSI CD-ROM drive, then copied the.tar file to my / folder, then ran tar xf 'name of tar', then ran the.app file. Install, reboot and enjoy. Login as root (you did configure root, right?), open Configure.app from the NextAdmin folder.

Go to display, select VESA 2.0 (near the bottom of the list). You can remove the basic VGA driver after this. Reboot again. You should have color now. Now you can login and run the preferences.app and configure your display resolution. I have the whole VM running in scaled mode #32bpp color and it works beautifully.

Also fullscreen at 1600x1200 works fine too. I wish the VM supported cursor integration so I don't have to hit the right CTRL key to have my mouse back so I can switch out of the VM. Still working on getting networking configured so I can copy over a few files (wallpapers). Anyway, I hope someone out there finds this info helpful.

It's taken me a few hours to track everything down and get the VM working. Oh also, sound doesn't work yet. I still have to tinker with it. Overall though, the base OS flies.

But them machine I am running it on is an i7 with an SSD. It should fly. EDIT 3: To clean up some spelling. Also, to configure root - that info is in the 1st guide in OP's post.
