Hacking the System, Mac OS 9.3, and Beyond ! / Re: Boot without the "Mac OS 9 Drivers"
« Last post by vaccinemedia on Today at 08:17:28 AM »Glad you got it working! And I never knew there was a better version of Drive Setup on the disk image so that's something to remember I'm just downloading a copy of Tiger which I'm hoping will work with UTM, the emulator for M1 / M2 etc which is basically a nice front end for Q-EMU. My tiger .dmg will not work but I discovered a .toast version which is said to work. My aim is to emulate things for testing on my M1 MacBook as I don't want to open up my PowerBookG4 again just to insert a blank M2 SSD for testing purposes and so if I can emulate things that's the way to go.
My aim is when it has finished downloading from the Internet Archive (which takes forever) it will let me have a hard disk image which can be partitioned. If so I'm going to use the Tiger CD to partition it with 2 partitions - one for OS9 and one for Tiger - much like you were attempting to do. Then after installing Tiger I'm going to install OS9.2.2 and hopefully get to see a flashing disk with a question mark on it. Then I'll use Tiger to patch the ROM on the OS9 drive as .hqx and use Stuffit expander to expand the new patched ROM and see if OS9 will then boot
