It's an absolute breeze to boot from the install ISO via QEMU. It boots pretty much instantaneously, and after that you just need to know Forth: http://i.imgur

Incidentally, I really like this Forth's version of a locals mechanism: http://www.forthos.org/lvars.html http://www.forthos.org/lvars.html
- FraaJad 15y agocan you share the instructions for getting ForthOS on QEMU? I tried it using Q on MacOSX, and I don't see the last line of output. ie., the FORTH prompt.
- RodgerTheGreat 15y agoI downloaded Q v0.9.0a89 here: http://www.kju-app.org/ http://www.kju-app.org/ I ran the app and created a new VM instance with "operating system" set to "Live CD". Under the hardware configuration options that are available I set "CD-ROM" to "Choose DiskImage..." and selected the ForthOS .iso. I also set "Hard Disk" to "New compressed 100mb diskimage". This step seems to be the key- ForthOS expects your machine to have a hard drive. After that just start the machine, select the first option in the boot menu and you should be gold.
- FraaJad 15y agoThanks! The bit about Hard disk was helpful. I have the OS working.
