Installing AROS One x86_64 in VirtualBox

Status: draft — being written and verified.

What this guide will cover:

• Downloading AROS One v1.3 (64-bit) and creating the VM
• VM settings that actually work
• Networking: why the adapter type matters
  • Use Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) with NAT
  • Inside AROS One: select e100.0device, leave everything on DHCP
  • I did not get PCnet-FAST III to work but should with the right driver (“Message too long”)
• Getting files in and out of the VM
  • USB Pendrive is probably the easiest
  • Samba should work (didn’t try myself)
  • In: building an ISO with genisoimage -R is easy on Linux Host, set as optical drive in Virtualbox
  • FTP on the host with pyftpdlib and a simple client on AROS
