Shapeshifter config for Mac OS 8.1?

[Legerdemain]

I've had MacOS8.1 running under ShapeShifter. Installed it directly from the CD.

Today, however, I can't get it to work. I've followed some guide and installed the OS without the PPC-specific stuff but it still freezes during boot (and, also worth noting is that my installer offers nowhere near the same options as the one in the guide... there must be different versions of MacOS8.1 floating about).

I'm really interested in getting it up and running aswell, if not only to play around a bit in WarCraft II and DarkForces.

You don't need MacOS 8.1 for that; I use 7.5.5 and that runs both of those games fine. Best of all 7.5.5 is freely available from Apple and in different languages too!

Are you sure? I've never ever gotten WarCraft II to run on my 060 under anything less than 8.x, since the earlier versions doesn't really support the processor (I've been told). On my older B1230 it worked perfectly on no matter what version of the OS above 7.5.5 I used.

But, even so, I still see it as a must to get MacOS8.1 up and running... it has become an obstacle to overcome. I will not give up until I get it running...
