The files in the first partition are mostly a mystery to me. All I know, is that files from there get loaded to the Arm SoC for processing. It works sort-of like a bios.

HI DC
Looks like qemu can't find kernel-qemu. Did you download it from jamesbond's link in the first post and place it in the same directory as
raspi-sd-4gb-sap6-5.69.img? (or whichever image you use, I reckon Barry will have a new one shortly).
All you need in that dir is the image and the kernel-qemu. I also have just a file with the command which I paste into terminal because I'm lazy.
HTH
Contents of file "pi_starting":
Code: Select all
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu arm1176 -hda raspi-sd-4gb-sap6-5.96.img -kernel kernel-qemu -m 256 -append "root=/dev/sda2" -serial stdio -redir tcp:2222::22
oh dear

Can't believe I've only just seen this. Excellent thread on qemu.
I'm guessing most people who need one have a qemu, but this is a pet I made (def works in Slacko, for instance).
qemu pet
Edit Sorry I hadn't noticed that Micko has already posted a .pet!
oops.
This
kernel zimageworks well too (I think I got it from CNET).

Mark (antiloquax) has practically tried every programming language available and this is so early in our ability to run on ARM
Woof Woof 
Hi Lobster - I hadn't seen this. I will try to add some stuff to the wiki.
Now I have Python3 on SAP, I am ready fo anything!

Running sap6 without Raspberri Pi

I gave qemu a try with raspi-sd-4gb-sap6-5.102.img and it's working
pretty well.
I tried unsuccessfully to get a higher screen resolution, ended up at
the prompt and couldn't get back to the desktop.
I installed the devx and compiled links 2.7 (took a while) but it's
working good.
Anyway, had a bit of fun trying it out

Yo fo [so to speak]
As an English teacher you can improve my use of the passive voice
spilling spelling mishtakes and so on.
Experience in Qemu (and other processor emulators) puts us ahead of the hardware.
For example the Mips/Dragon Risc chip will become increasingly popular.
An Arm tablet and superphone running Puppy will be direct descendent's of our Raspberrian adventures.

So pleased Micko has actual hardware.
At the moment Puppi Sap is getting easier to run but still have to tread carefully.

Oops. I'm going to say that was a typo. There are some words I often spell wrong. Towel for instance (I'm always tempted to add an extra 'l'.
Another advantage of learning programming is that my typing is a
bit more accurate - computers are rather unbending when it comes to SPG.
