Install Darwin without booting the CD

Anonymous — Sun, 11 Aug 2002 03:45:38 -0000

I had an old Petium system which does not support
booting up from the CD drive. Is there any alternative
installation procedure to boot the Darwin CDROM to
install the OS?

Darwin X86: HD not booting after install

Anonymous — Sun, 02 Dec 2001 12:08:26 -0000

Hir all,

Some days ago, I reach to download your
gnu-darwin-cd-beta2.2-x86.iso

Various notes:
a. it did not want to use my scsi disk on a Adaptec
2944 controler?

b. my ide install disk must be the primary on the first
ide controler,

c. as my (ide) disk already contained old partions
(among one a would like to preserve) I choose "Manual
partition" option and at the reboot it seems that the
partions was well save as I want. Then I choose to
install on a old partionned disk. Then I install Full
distribution with a Apple boot partition on
/dev/disk0s2 of 16 Mb and a Apple ordinary partition on
/dev/disk0s3 of 2Gb and it failled to install anything:
No write access?
Then I restart from the begining (with cd) and discover
that it put on the disk its own partitioning of the
disk: a apple boot partition of 8Mb and a apple
ordinary partion for the rest of the disk.

d. Now nothing else to do then going ahead. As Auto
partition comes
back to manual partion, I reach to install the Full
distribution with apple boot on /dev/disk0s1 and the
Apple ordinary partition on /dev/disk0s2. Now
everything seems to finish well till end.
But no way to continu: after the reboot the boot
failled:
'Config file
"/private/DRIVERS/i386/System.config/Default.table" not
found.'
'System config file "System" not found.

What can I do now to continu the install?
(I try to add ufs support (as loadable module)to my
linux kernel to see more about the content of the disk
but it seems to be another ufs so it did not help me)

Thanks in advance for help,
Joel

Symbol __divdi3 unrec'd in gimp1.2.1make

Anonymous — Thu, 24 May 2001 04:11:59 -0000

Hi folks,
Got 1.2.1.gz off sourceforge and went about
installation. I was kinda hoping it would already be
compiled fully but only portions of it were. No
matter. I jumped through a lot of hoops to get this
far in compilation but now I am just stumped. The
only clue I have gotten is that the unrecognized
symbols below are fairly low-level and should be
handled by the compiler. (I am not a programmer).
I thought maybe libc should be installed?

Thanks for any pointers,
Damien

GIMP: gimpwire.c:1295

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Mar 2001 23:27:42 -0000

WHen i go to make or make install , i get a bad macro
argument list error on gimpwire.c, line 1295. I get
this error three times, then cpp precompiler warns
that there were errors during smart preprocessing, so
it retries in basic mode. make[1] complains that
there is an Error 1 in gimpwire.o, and then the same
error in install-recursive.

I'm using a 300MHz iBook with 128 RAM and 4k78.
