Well, for the adventurous there is OSX support in the mol BK tree.
However, a few things besides mol must be compiled:
bootx-mol (in Linux)
drivers-osx (in OS X)
mac-drivers (in MacOS/CodeWarrior).
All the repositories above are available from http://mol.bkbits.net/.
Note that only the video NDRV is used from the mac-drivers repository.
At the moment, performance is not that great. I have identified
the cause of overhead though and know how to eliminate most of it.
Once I've done that, I'll make the OS X drivers available in
binary form (probably on Sunday).
The /etc/molrc.osx will should look something like
include ${etc}/molrc.video # video
include ${etc}/molrc.input # mouse & keyboard
include ${etc}/molrc.net # networking
ram_size: 256
# The boot volume must be marked with -boot
blkdev: /dev/hde12 -rw -boot
# --config=1 gives singleuser mode, --config=2 gives verbose mode,
ifeq ${config} 1 {
macosx_kernel_args: "-s"
}
ifeq ${config} 2 {
macosx_kernel_args: "-v"
}
# From mac-drivers
osi_video_driver: /BK/MacOS/mol-drivers-work/OF/osi_video.x
# From bootx-mol
bootx_image: /BK/mol-work/src/booter/xbooter/bootx
# From drivers-osx
drivers: /BK/osx-drivers-test/mods.mkext
There will probably be some changes though, so it might
be a good idea to examine the default molrc.osx file (once it
exists) since MOL no longer overwrites existing config files
during the 'make install' step.
