I finally have a functional ver. of OpenBSD 3.7 running on QEMU on my PowerBook. I was not happy, however, with the OpenBSD image that freeoszoo.org had - I had problems running pkg_add and a number of other things I wanted to test. Instead of investigating why, I simply did my own fresh install. I have put up a .gz img file of the 4g image at http://anywheretechnology.com/openbsd/openbsd37.img.gz if anyone is interested (it's about 145MB). The password for root is 0b$d (where 0 is a zero). I installed wget before making the compressed image. Otherwise, it is a vanilla 3.7 install. If I can ever take the time to figure out how to set up a torrent, I'll put that up, too. steve P.S. I finally gave up on Virtual PC. I found some work around sites, but to be honest, I don't have time to work on it if it doesn't work "out of the box" and QEMU does the job...

Hi Steven. steven n fettig wrote: I've been trying to get 3.7 to run in VirtualPC 7.0.1 on my PowerBook without any success. Right now, I'm actually working on getting 3.6 working so I can upgrade it to 3.7. The problems with 3.7 occur during formatting. I usually have 5 slices set up, / , swap, /tmp, /usr, /home and have tried various sizes. The biggest problem is trying to get a trouble report out of the install because when the machine crashes, I can't see exactly what is going on because it goes by so quickly. I'll let you know if I can get 3.6 to work... at least that would be a start. (Oh, I've tried it on some G5's I have, too, with no luck.) I4ll try that tomorow with my cd-sets of 3.4-3.6, maybe with good luck and will report the "sucess" here, if there would be one :) Regards, Thorsten

Maybe this will be fixed in version 7, a friend of mine will test this soon. Googeling around brought no enligthenment to me. So any suggestions by your person?
