<p>Create page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;pre-release versions of Mac OS X&#039;&#039;&#039; are, in my classification, post-NeXTSTEP but pre-Cheetah.<br /> <br /> == Rhapsody ==<br /> <br /> Haven&#039;t had a successful boot with DR1 and DR2 yet. All my Macs are either too new or too old for the setup application to work.<br /> <br /> == Mac OS X Server ==<br /> <br /> I&#039;ve only tried 1.2 v3.<br /> <br /> === Installation Notes ===<br /> <br /> * Creating the partitions in the installer can take several minutes on a several-gigabyte hard disk because the installer will create an insane number of superblock backups. If you want to see progress, &lt;code&gt;setenv boot-args -v&lt;/code&gt; in Open Firmware before running the installer and watch the block numbers fly by in the console.<br /> * Copying the Blue Box startup disk file will take a few minutes. If you suspect the installer has gotten stuck, try reinstalling with the compatibility environment unchecked.<br /> <br /> === General Notes ===<br /> <br /> * (applies to Mac OS X Server through Public Beta; Cheetah is OK) Plugging in a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse USB adapter or booting with one inserted will immediately kernel panic the system.<br /> <br /> === Verified Working ===<br /> <br /> * [[alligator|Rev. C tray-loading iMac G3]] (applies to all later ones)<br /> <br /> == Mac OS X Developer Previews ==<br /> <br /> == Mac OS X Public Beta ==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mac OS X]]</div>
