Support of guest operating systems is quite limited. You can find the results of what works in the current version below, along with some notes. Generally the SCSI controller is better for testing operating systems, because it's more complete, however it's also a little buggy, so if the IDE controller works it's better to use that.
OS | State | Notes |
---|---|---|
OpenVMS 8.4 | works | Should install seamleassly. Use of IDE controller recommended. |
OpemVMS 8.42L1 | works | As above. Similarly to other emulators erorrs while copying a few files occur - those can be ignored. |
OpenBSD 6.7 | boots with hacks, doesn't install | Using both IDE and SCSI controller crashes because unknown command, if patched to ignore it, boots, but doesn't install (install tried using IDE only). |
NetBSD 9.0 | doesn't boot | Hangs at boot with both IDE and SCSI controller. |
Tru64 UNIX 5.1B | boots, doesn't install | The installation CD boots using the SCSI controller - hard drive is detected correctly, but it panics on a FS related error during installation. Experiments can be done in the installation environment shell. |
OSF/1 1.3a | doesn't boot | CPU/system type not supported; maybe reporting an older system to bypass the check or using a patched kernel would get further |
OSF/1 2.0b | doesn't boot | Same as above. |
Windows NT | untested | Requires a different PALcode. |
