Installing Apple Rhapsody DR1 on pcipc (Part 1/2)

1. Prepare an HDD with chdman. Using 1 GB template here, note it definitely won't work with some threshold (i.e. 8 GB will detect 16 MB on partition disk manager), needs a minimum of 270 MB.

2. Run pcipc with rhapboot.img in -flop1, the DR1.iso in -cdrom and the newly created -hard

3. boot disk by just return key, Type 1 for the English (disk shouldn't support anything else), Type 1 to prepare to install Rhapsody


4. Asks for Rhapsody Device Drivers, swap -flop1 with rhapdev.img, once another loading it will ask to install SCSI/IDE controller, cycle with 7 until you reach "Primary/Secondary(Dual) EIDE and ATAPI Device Controllers" then type 5


5. Will ask for another SCSI adapter to use for the HDD, select again Dual EIDE by cycling with 7 and 5. Type 1 afterwards for not loading any other driver.


6. We are now in Rhapsody Mach OS. If all of above is done correctly it should show the option for installing Rhapsody on an HDD.




7. Type 1, 4 times overall, to install to the whole disk. Optionally user can partition the disk for multiboot from here by following prompts, afterwards it will start copy the files on disk.


8. Once done remove rhapdev.img from flop1 and press Return, pcipc will reboot after a bit.


9. Once back we are greeted with the Rhapsody splash screen, note that this phase will take a bit to complete (eventually indicated by a progress bar).


10. Final touches: we need at least a PCI video card driver. Click on the monitor icon ...


11. ... , select either of the detected drivers ...
