Oldworld Booting
================
To boot earlier version of MacOS than 8.6, an image of a
supported boot-ROM is needed. Booting using a boot-ROM image
is called oldworld booting.
Note: MacOS 8.6 and later can be booted using
a "newworld" ROM (a file in the System Folder). This
is the (strongly) recommended way of booting MacOS.
The rest of this document addresses oldworld booting
though.
Support ROM images
==================
Images from one of the following computers are known to work:
PowerMacintosh 7200, 7300, 7500, 7600, 8200, 8500, 9600
PowerCenter Pro
Starmax 4160
Umax J700/180
Umax SuperMac C500
PowerBase 200 (180, 240)
Performa 6400
Most (almost all) of the ROMs above can be used together with the
8500 oftree.
ROM-images from the following machines *might* be usable:
PowerMacintosh 7215, 8515, 9500, 9515.
PowerMacintosh 8600
PowerMacintosh 5400
Umax SuperMac J710, C600
It is also *possible* that an image from one of the following
machines work:
Genesis LT,
Power Macintosh 8600/200
PowerTower
PowerTower Pro
PowerTower Pro G3
PowerCurve
Powerwave
Umax SuperMac S900
Umax SuperMac J700
Genesis MP
Millennium G3, 604
ROM images from other machines with the Catalyst, Nitro or
Tsunami architecture might also work (try these ROMs also
with the 8500 oftree).
There is a ROM grabbing utility on the ftp-site:
ftp://ftp.nada.kth.se/home/f95-sry/Public/mac-on-linux/
If no ROM-image is specified, the built-in ROM will be used
(which probably won't work unless MOL is running on one
of the supported machines).
Using a Boot-ROM
================
First make sure /etc/mol/molrc.ow is included from /etc/mol/molrc.
Secondly, specify the location of the ROM-image in /etc/mol/molrc.ow,
for instance
rom_image: rom/rom.8500
There is also another setting which might need some tuning:
oftree: oftrees/oftree.8500
Most of the supported roms work well with the 8500 oftree.
There are a few others in /usr/share/mol/0.9.XX/oftrees
though.
