Mac mini Os4

[CHR74]

I have one of these:



Where do I get the iso file to try this kernel loading thing?

[CHR74]

Ok.. downloaded and tried but no cigar. Check pictures:

ok now I get the booting options, I tried some but it hangs at "Installed mem: 128 Megabega", then if I press space or return it starts a whole bunch of loading modules or something but I never get the kickstart screen.



and this is what appears instead of the kickstart screen for some of those configs

[CHR74]

If I understand correctly one can set up a config file for a specific hardware configuration. So maybe if I can setup this file to run with this specific imac the kickstart screen should come up.

[CHR74]

well.. this conversation is just for the sake of knowledge.. I'm not even thinking of buying an OS4.. It's merely curiosity .. to see if I can get this kickstart thing appearing.

[CHR74]

maybe

oh serial console.. mmm let's get this bootloader to work

[CHR74]

One way could be comparing the hardware specs between the macmini and the imac to see the difference and tailor a bootloader.. macmini specs anyone?

[CHR74]

Ehm no, my Ibook G3 has an Ati Rage 128 video card. I'll be posting specs comparison.

[CHR74]

Ok.. so no ati radeon of course.. maybe a generic xga video card driver could work?
Anyway here's specs comparison:
