Today I decided to install my AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Classic onto FS-UAE running on my MacOS X Yosemite (10.10) Macbook Pro.

DISCUSSION

Overview

Amiga Forever 9 features several enhancements that contribute to a polished PowerPC emulation experience. These include a quality selection of ready-to-run expansion devices, and lots of RAM.

For most purposes, the preconfigured 'Amiga 4000 PPC' title in the Systems tab of Amiga Forever is a good starting point. You can right-click and select Create Copy, then Edit to experiment various configurations with much greater ease than what could be done with physical hardware.

Download Amigaos Iso

By default, an unformatted 750 MB RDB hard disk (new 'deployable' type) is included in this configuration. This means that the system is ready to install a new OS. Without that, the PowerPC Amiga will not be able to boot.

Emulated devices include a PCI bridge, a Picasso IV display card, Commodore A2065 and RTL8029 Ethernet and FM801 and ES1370 ('SoundBlaster 128') audio. This means that drivers provided by operating systems like GNU/Linux and AmigaOS 4 can be employed.

On startup, Amiga Forever auto-detects bootable floppy and CD images, and provides appropriate messages and fallback actions depending on the available media. If the OS installation CD is not bootable, a floppy disk image may be required to boot into the installation.

The preconfigured 'Amiga 4000 PPC' title also includes a special Shared drive, which can be accessed by both Windows (e.g. to copy downloaded network drivers, or operating system updates) and as an Amiga disk volume. To view the folder in Amiga Forever, right-click the title and select Open/Shared (Local Folder). Any files copied there are also accessible from the Shared volume inside the Amiga.

Quick Setup

If you are looking for a quick way to install AmigaOS 4.1 FE for Classic:

Right-click the 'Amiga 4000 PPC' title in the Systems tab of Amiga Forever, select Create Copy, then Edit
In the General tab, set a meaningful title, like 'AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 1'
In the Configuration tab, confirm that devices with native AmigaOS 4.1 FE drivers are used: SCSI & IDE should be set to CyberStorm PPC, Video should be set to Picasso IV and Network should be set to RTL 8029
If you prefer to use the Commodore A2065 Ethernet interface, you may need some additional downloadable drivers (you can download them from the PC side, and copy them to the Shared folder)
In the Media tab, drag-and-drop the AmigaOS 4.1 FE ISO image
In the Input tab, set and take a note of the preferred Guest Keyboard layout (it may be needed later)
Alternatively, you can insert the ISO image at runtime, using the CD icon in the Amiga Forever playback window, or use a physical installation CD in the actual drive
AmigaOS 4.1 FE should now be ready to boot from the CD (or floppy disk image, if the next section is included), and then install from the CD image
Start the Installation Utility (you can skip the Hard Disk Preparation Utility and Media Toolbox)
In the Installation Utility, set the desired locale options; if changing the keyboard, make sure that this matches the previously noted Guest Keyboard layout
After accepting the EULA, confirm the proposed computer model as Amiga 4000, then click Next
Select the Format disk(s) option to format the hard disk that was listed in the Media tab of Amiga Forever (usually DH0), accepting the defaults (Fast File system, International Mode) and selecting a meaningful volume name (e.g. 'System' or 'AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 1', etc.), then click Quick Format and confirm
Continue installing to the previously formatted partition, which should be preset
Under Graphics card, change the selection from AGA to Picasso IV; the Include Boot VGA option is not needed
In the following step, which asks for the maximum 'frequency' supported by the monitor, select a comfortable resolution (e.g. 1024x768 or 1280x1024), taking in mind that you can always increase the pixel size with the Amiga Forever player controls (2x, etc.) if needed; for the vertical refresh frequency, you can pick the lowest value listed for the chosen resolution, e.g. '@60', to minimize unnecessary emulation overhead
Accept the default IDEFix (unselected), cybppc.device (selected), 'floppy fix' and other remaining options
After the installation is complete, use the CD and floppy disk menus to eject the respective boot images (later you can use use the Media tab to permanently remove them), then click the Finish button to reboot
If you obtained the separate 'Final Edition Update 1' archive and have that available on the PC side, copy it to the Shared folder
