[comp.os.minix] MacMinix and Virtual

frel@randvax.UUCP (Dave Frelinger) (11/03/90)

Has anyone managed to get MacBoot to work with Virtual 2.0?  It appears
that MacMinix tries to create a ram disk that somehow causes my MacII to
generate an illegal instruction when I am using Virtual 2.0.  Has anyone
managed to find a work around to allow MacMinix to work with Virtual 2.0,
or will I be RAM bound?  What exactly is MacBoot doing that triggers the
illegal instruction since it is suppose to run as a "normal" application
under multi-finder? I'll keep investigating, but I would appreciate any
help that folks who have worked more extensivley with MacMinix might be
able to offer.


Thanks,

FYI:  I am running on a trusty MacII w/ PMMU, System 6.05, and Virtual2.0
