New version, should be way more stable: updated disk image

- lots of firmware boilerplate: QEMU âpegasos2â machine has a very lightweight firmware.
- a few big-endian fixes (BFS, ATI driver). Not that much actually.
- PS/2 support lacked PowerPC support which was added
- Some Pegasos 2 hardware support
For the real hardware I have to add Amiga partition support (RDB) before trying anything because the Smart firmware only supports these.
usb_disk needed some fixes for big endian. Trackpad doesnât work, the protocol is probably incompatible since I think it supports multitouch. Though, a USB mouse also doesnât work

I wonder if everyone doing all these ports with AI that will never be accepted in to the main repo might join together and make TabbyOS a thing for the currently unsupported platforms?

Thank you for this! So cool to see it going!
Would be great to get haikuports builds hosted somewhere for powerpc!
I have a lot of mac powerpc hardware I could test this on, but would it be useful to do so? Would I be able to share enough information to enable you to get those machines running?
Be nice to see the ibook G4 fully working with mouse, USB etc⌠I have one of those!

That would be extremely useful! Iâm digging out my G4 iBooks next 
Do you have an updated image?
Can it boot from USB drive or I need to put it on an actual IDE device?
Most of my machines are aluminium powerbook G4s (different sizes/speeds but all from the last generation), I also have an ibook G4, imac g3, imac g5, and a last revision emac. Also some much older (like with nubus so not really relevant). Not sure which would have the best chance of working?
How likely is this going to run on a Mac Mini? The one I have is telling me it is a PowerMac10,2 with a 1.5GHz G4 under Sorbet Leopard.

It should boot, USB might not work, but it might! I bet once I get the iBook G4 supported, the Mac Mini G4 will just work

)
Iâm working on a live installer CD iso and disk image

I guess some small (like 1-2 lines endianness fixes) patches could be up streamed at least. Some fixes are also for generic code that may crash/misbehave in x86 as well.
Nice! I have a fix for the missing icon in the task list btw. Thatâs one of the numerous small fixes that also impact other architectures and could be up streamed.
Then it worth to share them on Gerrit 
If those really just some few lines those may get into the tree after reviewing /testing by devs.
This is now the worldâs first fresh install of Tabby on real hardware. Tabby installer image coming soon after a little more testing.

Awesome! Once the installer is available I will give it a test on my machines here
