Hi All,
I would like to try BeOS on my PowerMac, but I can't find a way to
make a bfs volume on my hard drive (blank). Anyone have experience
getting BeOS to work on a PowerMac?
Thanks,
Kyle-
I use BeOS on my Daystar Genesis boxes. The best way to use BeOS in my
experience is to install a seperate drive just for BeOS. Drive bays are
not a problem in a Genesis case as I seen to remember it holds around
6-8 hard drives.
I also had problems dual booting my Genesis MP800 with BeOS under
anything newer than MacOS 7.6. Under 8.0, 8.1, 9.0 or 9.1 it froze and
I never got the boot manager extension to load successfully. I I
finally put a 7.6 drive into the box to load the boot manager extension
to boot the BeOS drive. Sounds convoluted but once I did that, it runs
very good. BeOS screams on a quad processor 200mhz 604e machine .
