I’m pleased to report that with minimal effort on my part, Haiku Alpha 1 successfully installed on VMWare (2.0.2) for Mac and runs well so far.
I have run into one problem however, the OS does not see the availability of my Apple Airport Connection or Wired Ethernet Adapter on my host my MacBook pro. I have configured VMWare every which way possible to make both Adapters available to Haiku. Unfortunately though, when I view the network panel in Haiku, the “Adapter” drop down menu is empty, no choices available.
Mostly posting this to see if it’s a “known issue”, although if anyone has a suggested solution, I am all ears.
VMWare Fusion runs Haiku without any problems (here). How have you configured Fusion’s network settings - is it using Bridged or NAT mode? Haiku also distribute a .vmx file which correctly configures VMWare.
OK, I’ve just tried reconfiguring the alpha again under Fusion. To enable networking, I had to first select NAT mode. I then had to access Mac OS X system preferences / sharing / enable internet sharing. Start the Haiku image, make sure that networking preference is set to DHCP, and you’re in business (ie. you can browse the net with Haiku).
To get sound working, I had to install the OpenSoundSystem (OSS) optional package (http://haiku-files.org/files/optional-packages/). Unzip this file to your /boot directory to install the OSS drivers. Reboot. You then have to go to the Media preferences, and set the audio output to use OSS driver. After that, you have sound in Fusion (ie. you can play mp3 files and games).
100% verified to work (MacBookPro2,2 with SnowLeopard, VMWare Fusion 2.??)
Edit Zenja: - if you use BootCamp to create a new partition, and install Haiku to the new partition, you will have a conflict with HDA audio driver and OSS audio driver (this is a known bug and will be fixed soon). Remove the OSS driver or the HDA driver to actually boot Haiku natively on the Mac.
I have it working fine in VMware Fusion 3 by upgrading the hardware, adding ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” to the appropriate vmx file, setting the vm up as Linux/Ubuntu, and setting the network to NAT.
Be nice now to get some open source vmware tools ported.
Being back within Haiku now using a MacBookPro and VMware Fusion 4.1.1 today
I managed to get a VM install using a USB stick with R1/alpha3. But I do not get
any internet connection, because the network adapter will not be set up.
The device list shows for that:
Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]
which seems not to be supported.
So what to do to get a working network adapter in VMware Fusion 4?
Well, I had not found the .vmx file.
But now I found out, that the .vmwarevm file could be unfolded as a package.
Then I could open the .vmx file using TextEdit.app, where I
then added the line "ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” at a presumed place.
That has it made work for me …
