I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

[_ThEcRoW]

Is the 64 mb of vram really a requirement?. I know that os4 can boot on the A1 with a Voodoo3 16MB card, so booting off a 32MB radeon should work fine.
Leo, you said that the environmental variables are stored in the nvram forever so it itsn't neccesary to type setenv again?
Thanks in advance!!

The graphics card is built in motherboard, so no option of changing.

What is the "safe" atiradeon.chip file?

[_ThEcRoW]

So the file on the pirate bay one isn't the safe one?. Is the one on the moana files?
Thanks!!!

@a1260
Sorry to disappoint you, but it already happened, some users already have os4 on their minis, so it's a matter of time that it reach the rest of usd who want it.

I get black screen when booting with the safe driver. How did you it ck007?
I have a 1.42 ghz mac mini 32mb vram

My firmware is 4.8.9f4.

But the radeon graphics adapter on the minis with 32 mb vram is the same, isn' it?. Mine is a radeon 9200.

No one is pointing or providing links to any source of illegal files. We are discussing about the booting process, and that is not illegal in this board if i'm not mistaken.

Recently i acquired 1gb module for my mini and now it works!!!. I only had 256 mb.
My mini is 1.42ghz with a 32mb radeon and works with the two loaders, standard and ati_safe.

The ram is a hynix module, the same brand as the one that came with the mini. As for the installation, i'm already investigating the partitions and searching for more info on the net.
I will keep you informed.

But while waiting for mos, os4 experimenting is cool.
Gaula, i have not had much time lately so no much news in the installation scheme. Hdtoolbox sees the hd and dvddrive correctly, but i need to be sure about the steps involved because i don't want to screw my osx installation.
I will people informed as soon as i get anything new.
