Build 385 quemu emulation on Mac OS X

[Julius Lucks]

Hi All,

This is the first time I have tried XO emulation, and I am having a  
bit of trouble.  I have tried to follow the instructions at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images_for_emulation#QEMU_on_Mac_OS_X

In particular, I downloaded and installed Q.app version 0.8.1.a35  
from http://kju-app.org/kju/ .  I then downloaded the XO image

olpc-redhat-stream-development-build-385-20070406_2314- 
devel_ext3.img.bz2

from http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/LATEST- 
STABLE-BUILD/devel_ext3/ .

After unzipping the image, I configured Q.app to use the image  
according to the instructions on the wiki page.  However, when  
configuring the advanced settings with:

 > Advanced - QEMU Arguments: type "-redir tcp:2222::22" (without  
quotes)

as instructed by the wiki, Q.app would not start from the disk image  
and instead gave the cryptic warning "Syntax Error" no matter what I  
tried.  Removing this line from the advanced arguments, Q.app did  
boot up from the disk image, but I did not get a GRUB screen as the  
wiki said.  Following the steps listed on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ 
Sugar_Instructions, what happened instead of seeing the GRUB loader  
was the linux bootup.  After that, it asked me for a login name that  
would not except anything but the name 'root' with no password.  I  
got a terminal as root then, but I was not able to proceed with  
seeing Sugar any further.

My platform details are:
12" Aluminum G4 1.33 GHz
756 MB Memory
OS X version 10.4.8

If anyone has any hints as to what I might be doing wrong, I would be  
very appreciative!

Another question I have concerns keyboard layout.  I have my OS X  
keyboard in the Dvorak configuration and it looks like this is not  
setup by default when emulating XO with quemu.  How do I use a Dvorak  
layout with emulation?

Once again, I appreciate your time and help.

Cheers,

Julius
