Dear Brad,

- Qemu CVS version head from today 26/06/2004 (this morning French time). I 
did not upgrade to the latest changes committed afterwards.

- The CD-ROM installers from Darwin can be fetched from:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/

I downloaded and installed: 
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/darwin-701.iso.gz

- Then I booted the Darwin guest:
qemu -cdrom darwin-701.iso -hda hd.img -m 128 -boot d -cirrusvga -user-net

According to the Darwin howto, networking under x86 only works with precise 
3Com network card (from memory, I did not check again). Therefore, it is 
likely that networking cannot work in the guest. This limitation does not 
exist in the PPC versions.

MacOsX is entirely based on free software:  achieving to run Darwin-701 PPC or 
Darwin-6.02 PPC in qemu-system-ppc should bring MacOsX 10.3 and MacOsX 10.2 
respectively. The PPC images can be fetched from:

- Darwin-7.01 for PPC (a bug in the PPC bios prevents the iso from booting 
according to Jocelyn.):
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/images/darwin-701.iso.gz

- Darwin-6.02 for PPC:

Kindest regards,
Jean-Michel
