When I try to install to an HD Image of Virtual PC, everything seems to work, but after rebooting, the only thing I see is a black screen saying "Missing operating system" just as if I had turned on a PC without a boot drive.
When booting from the ISO-Image, everything works just fine... |
I experienced the same thing - although, are you sure the installation really proceeds fully?
When I do it, DSL does indeed install completely. But then the installer just bails out - either with an error if I try to install a bootloader, or silently if I don't.
I suspect there's something about the VPC virtual hard drive file that's different from a real drive/volume at some low level. That's all I can figure out.
It would be nice to be able to have a HD install - on my iMac G5, DSL runs far faster than any other VPC OS I've ever tried. In fact, I'd say it runs as fast as PPC-native linux on a G3. I imagine from a HD install it'd run even faster.
