Today's challenge: try to get OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.x running in qemu on an M2 Mac with qemu. It’s #RetroComputing but it's for serious use. The hard drive in my old G4 Mini has died and it makes more sense to virtualize than to replace the HD or find a newer Mini.
So far struggling to figure out how to get qemu-system-x86_64 to boot the Snow Leopard install dmg I have.
