Step by step instructions for getting XO emulation up on a Mac using Parallels v3
Quit Parallels, since so far we only have a blank disk image. Take a look at it.
$ ls -l ${HOME}/Documents/Parallels/OLPC/otherlin.hdd/*.hds -rw-r--r-- ... 1073995776 Jan 3 00:30 .../otherlin.hdd.0.{some-parallels-hex-code}.hds
I use a script to copy an XO image onto the blank 1GB disk just created.
$ cat ~/bin/mk-otherlin-olpc #!/bin/bash # edit these to match your system IND=/Users/gknauth/test/olpc INF=xo-1-olpc-stream-joyride-build-1492-20080102_2219-devel_ext3.img.bz2 OUTD=/Users/gknauth/Documents/Parallels/OLPC/otherlin.hdd OUTF='otherlin.hdd.0.{some-parallels-hex-code}.hds' bzcat "$IND/$INF" | dd "of=$OUTD/$OUTF" bs=1024 conv=notrunc,noerror,sync
Invoke the script.
$ ~/bin/mk-otherlin-olpc 949840+1 records in 949841+0 records out 972637184 bytes transferred in 190.564697 secs (5103974 bytes/sec)
I am glad that the number of bytes transferred is less than the size of the hard disk I created. If that had not been the case, I would later get a Grub Error 18 (selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS).
$ ls -l ${HOME}/Documents/Parallels/OLPC/otherlin.hdd/*.hds -rw-r--r-- ... 1073995776 Jan 3 00:40 .../otherlin.hdd.0.{some-parallels-hex-code}.hds
Now that we have a real XO image copied over to our hard disk, we can start Parallels again.
At this point, there is no networking. What I want to do is the following:
$ sudo bash # ifup eth0
However ifup eth0 is failing for me. I still mention it because it seems to have worked for most other people. Try different networking options when initially creating the Parallels virtual machine.
Some of the suggestions I pursued, such as creating an empty hard disk and then using a dd command that does not truncate the image, came from BruceB's and ScottSwanson at Emulating_the_XO/Mac.
