Quick Start

The following is a step-by-step guide that shows you how to get SheepShaver up and running in the quickest possible way. We assume that you are running on a PowerMac that already has MacOS installed on a partition of your hard drive and that you have booted into BeOS.

  1. Double-click the SheepShaver icon. The "SheepShaver Settings" window will appear.
  2. Click on "Start". SheepShaver will try to detect on which partition MacOS is installed and should then start booting MacOS.
  3. To quit SheepShaver, select "Shutdown" from the Finder's "Special" menu.

One word of caution:

Volumes which are used by SheepShaver must not also be mounted under BeOS while SheepShaver is running. You will lose data and corrupt the volume if you do this! Don't press the "Mount all disks now" button in the BeOS "Disk Mount Settings" window while SheepShaver is running!
