mac99 does not find mac os x 10.4 dvd

[Gino Badouri]

Hi there,

I've compiled qemu 1.6.0 and ripped my Mac OS X 10.4 dvd to iso format.
Now I'm trying to get qemu to boot the dvd and install the OS with:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M mac99 -m 256 -cdrom ./tiger.iso -boot d -sdl -display sdl -net nic -net user -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -cpu G4 -hda ./tiger.img

It shows the grey apple logo for a few seconds and then I get the following boot prompt:

It keeps repeating the "Still waiting for root device" ?

I've set this to "Fix released" since this bug was fixed with the last set of macio rewrites which were released with QEMU 2.6, although both 2.7 and the upcoming 2.8 release include further fixes in this area.
