OpenDarwin 7.2.1 Notes

• Gary said:
  After installing, you must enter these boot options to get the root partition mounted: rd=disk0s1 -v
  
  Then edit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to include:
  
  <key>Kernel Flags</key>
  <string>rd=disk0s1</string>
  
  The DEC Tulip chipset is supported but appears to fail on bootup. There is also a long pause while netinfod gets hung on something but you'll eventually get a login prompt.
• Alex Smith noted:
  If it hangs at the initial splash screen, restart the virtual machine. When you see the "Press a key within 3 seconds to enter startup options" prompt, press a key and type hd(0,a)mach_kernel rd=disk0s1. This assumes you installed Darwin on the first partition of the virtual disk
