If someone manages to crack OS4 and get it running and functional on a Mac Mini, imagine how the price will shoot up as all of us try to buy them.  Wow!

I wonder what the road block is.

Do you have to login to look at the pics? I would like to see them. Can you tell us the steps you used to get to the Kickstart screen? I am also working on it in spare time.

[EDIT] Nevermind, the site is in Turkish.

I know ozkano from our local forum. There's no reason he'ld fake something like this. Also, macmini port was confirmed to be project Moana by some Acube developers, so it is REAL. However, legality of the issue is disputed. Also, it's not obivous yet as if it's possible to actually run OS4 on the macmini, there's no information to if it's possible to install it on the device.

when you start mac mini, press power buton and hold it up to command prompt appears on screen, you will here a regular booting sound and another sound

in command line write these to lines

setenv boota-device cd:
boot cd:\\slb

and it starts loding that's it

That link takes me to a photo of a Mac Mini.
What happens after that? Does it try to boot into the OS installer?

Slightly off topic but a quick query? Has anyone tried this code on an IBook, I read that said code was found on a laptop that had fallen off the back of a truck and it occurred to me that it may have been on a mac laptop. Has anyone tried it on one? Just a thought.

It seems to boot the amiga kernel, but the kernel isn't able to find the root on the CD.

What happend connecting an USB floppy reader and a boot disk?
I suppose that the floppy must be in High Density  (my usb floppy reader for example don't read lowdensity format)

How did you find "slb"? is a file on the OS4 cdrom?  Does someone else files is present?

Cool stuff.

I'm about to punt my iBook but if someone manages to get os4 running on one, that would be a great excuse to keep it.
