Help requested with various guest OSes

[daniel]

Greetings, all.

I am interested in running the following on my Mac, using the latest version of Parallels:
- OS/2 1.3
- AtheOS
- Xinu
- Plan-9
- MenuetOS
- Coherent OS
- SkyOS
- Syllable
- VSTa

I have tried many of these and have been unsuccessful at it. For example, on the 3rd disk for AtheOS, Parallels won't let me mount the disk saying it is an invalid image.

Any tips on getting these running on my Mac - even in Bochs or another emulator - would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It's all play.

The problem disk image is the third one here: http://atheos.syllable-norden.info/download/list-base.php3.html

To boot AtheOS requires "boot 1" and "boot 2" disks, and a "data 1" disk. The data 1 disk is the problem one.

Since it's not a full 1.44MB, perhaps I should rawrite the image to a floppy, then dd that floppy to create a new image. Hmm, I'll try that today.
