Amiga OS4 on old (PPC) Macs

@AeroMan

Nah, It boots just from the files that AmigaMac released on EAB as long as the Mac Mini firmware version is right [1.5ghz G4 - 64mb Radeon 9200]

I'm going to be trying different things to get more of a "successful" boot in the next couple of days.

What a nice present for the new year, hehe! :-)

 :-D  :-D  :-D

So... when this "insert disk animation" comes, I guess it is time to stick in the OS4 CD?!

@Colani1200 & @Sir_Lucas:

Hehe, Nah, It will be more amazing when I can boot the workbench...

This is being worked on... More info in the next couple of days...

This is amazing to watch develope all over the web! Mac Mini's are flying out of ebay like "Pigs In A Floyd Dream!"
Peeps on Amiga boards all over the world are posting links to MacMini's that are for sale! LOL...  And soon as they get this running I'll be buying OS4 for sure - if there's any left on the shelves!!

Where can I download the OS4 loader ISO? Seems to be gone from the English Amiga Board... and I can't read Italian over IKSNET! Oh wait...  BABELFISH! hahahaha

[Sir_Lucas]

Plz do keep us posted and CONGRATULATION !

@gizmo350:

PM Me, I can probably help you. Do you have a machine you think you can boot it on? [I want more people to boot it for proof...]

@Sir_Lucas:

Hehe I have to go to bed soon, and won't be able to update until I *receive* files needed to continue... *hint* I don't own an AmigaOne or Classic PPC... *hint*

There are loads of 1.42GHz Macs, but couldn't find any 1.5 anywhere. Now the question for the Mac guys:

Is there any way to update a Mac with the right firmware ? Even older ones ?

so now we only need a copy of os4.  :-(    
this is just frustraiting i think, but wery good news for those who have a dead aone.

Im trying on my macmini g4 (again)...

Booting with alt+left apple key+O+F
Then typing:
     setenv boota-device cd:
     boot cd:\\slb
Then some text and 6 options
 1 mm_full_silent
 2 mm_videodeb_nop96
 3 mm_videodeb_nop96_usb
 4 mm_full_video
 5 mm_full_silent_usb
 6 mm_full_silent_usb_debug

What option may use? Using option 1 i only have a black screen.

My mini g4 is openfirmware 4.8.9f1

@AeroMan

There's no way to update a PPC macmini. It's a bummer! But I'll bet someone will get it working on the 1.42ghz machine sooner or later.
