BeOS

I downloaded BeOS from BeBits (http://www.bebits.com/app/2680) and tried to get it to work. I installed it under my XP Pro VM and copied the Floppy.img (from C:\beos\Floppy.img) to the host Mac and connected that through Parallels. The floppy boots, but I get a kernel panic, and an error message saying it can't find a BeOS volume to boot from. See pic:


Any ideas? I'd really like to get BeOS working as I've never used it before, but maybe it's just too old :(

BTW I'm using beta 3 on a Mac mini Core Solo (512MB, 10.4.6) and "Virtualization mode: Intel VT-x"

OK, I admit that was snarky. Still, I'm certainly not proposing ignoring Windows support. However, if there's a problem supporting a reasonably standard CD bootloader such as the one on BeOS, there's clearly an issue with CD booting support in general.

There's nothing snarky about this. It's merely descriptive. My sysadmin habits have me log crashes whenever they occur. My Windows 10 Parallels guest machine has a longer crash log than my 3 iMacs combined.
