[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1230232] [NEW] mac99 does not find mac os x 10.4 dvd

[Gino Badouri]

Public bug reported:

Hi there,

I've compiled qemu 1.6.0 and ripped my Mac OS X 10.4 dvd to iso format.
Now I'm trying to get qemu to boot the dvd and install the OS with:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M mac99 -m 256 -cdrom ./tiger.iso -boot d -sdl
-display sdl -net nic -net user -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -cpu G4 -hda
./tiger.img

It shows the grey apple logo for a few seconds and then I get the following 
boot prompt:

It keeps repeating the "Still waiting for root device" ?
