Installing OpenStep in VPC 5
Downloaded the boot and driver .floppyimages from the Apple site. Created them as per the instructions on that site.
From the VPC instructions in the Help section, I created a new virtual machine, checking the alternate CD-ROM option. New diskimage as per the instructions (DOS). Booted the machine, with the boot floppy selected. It loads fine. Selected the language etc, and didn't bother with any of the advanced booting options (this might be what needs to be altered)
At the driver disk stage, i selected the "Primary/Secondary (Dual) EIDE/ATAPI Device Controller (4.01)", again, as per the instructions.
Carries on booting, and it eventually comes up with the error as above:
"vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root".
I think it has something to do with either the CD image, or the diskimage i created in VPC.
Any directions about where to go on the net to get this sorted would be very appreciated.
TIA
