Bootarguments for Qemu AmigaOne install on Mac M1

Sorry if this has been discussed before or if this is nooblike.

Following this guide I have a working AmigaOne install running on my M1 Mac.

However, I can not get it to go online or share files with th Mac side, so I can not really get any further with it.

I use the bootarguments below and have set up and RTL8139 connection on the Amiga side but I can not get it to online.

Sharing files I simply do not know how to. Have tried setting up a USB storage solution but it errors out.

Any recommandations?

What error do you get? What network settings you use in AmigaOS? With -netdev user you should leave it using DHCP and ping may not work but should still be able to connect to services (like from behind a router doing NAT).

Thank you for replying

Correction. It looks like internet access works afterall. Accessed a timeserver and that fetched the time. Apparantly I had made an error trying to do that until now.

Is there a boot argument to mount the ISO without having the system boot from it? I need to install some extras like a browser, ftp-client etc.?

Also need to get a new version of AmiUpdate. The one on the system is way to old to be able to update anything.

Filesharingwise I am primarily just unsure what to do. I have tried this argument to add USB: -device usb-storage,drive=ufat but I get this error: qemu-system-ppc: -device usb-storage,drive=ufat: Property 'usb-storage.drive' can't find value 'ufat'

Is there a way to add a folder or something?

For inserting CD after boot see change command in QEMU Monitor https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/monitor.html or you could use the early startup menu as on real machine by holding both mouse buttons at the right moment during boot (around when the logo fades in but it may be hard to find when to do that, too early or too late may not work).
About USB shared folder see http://qmiga.codeberg.page/#faq you need the corresponding -drive option to define ufat but this is limited to small files and writing it does not really work so using network for file transfer is better.

I managed to mount the CD (Qemu on mac has a GUI for that I found out), installed a browser and got going. Now running a Update 2 system with latest version of AmiUpdate and also updated RTL8139 devicedriver.

After Update 2 the system seems to run fine and stable.

However, I get the error below when I try to use AmiUpdate. Loads fine and finds the updates on the servers. However, it crashes when I try to update:

Is that normal on Qemu? Or something that can be fixed? Maybe more RAM to the system?

Or can it be AmiSSL related? I have the latest 5.20 installed but do I need 4.12 also? I think I read that somewhere.

My bootargument is this:



Thank you!

Short update:

This seems like an AmiUpdate/server bug of some kind.

When I try to update from the Codebench.co.uk server it crashes with the DSI
When I update from the Hyperion server it downloads and install the updates fine except the two MUI updates

Examining the log it says "Redirection required, following link ...." when it crashes.

Can anyone alse confirm?

@johnfante

there is an update AmiUpdate v2.56:
http://www.codebench.co.uk/amiupdate_ ... /index.php?page=downloads

Think it fixes the amissl v5 issue.

@jabirulo

Thank you! That is the version I am running.

Think this is some kind of server error.

@johnfante

yep, there still some issues, 'cos server(s) where updated.
Hope they will fixed ASAP.
