# Minix3.4 on M1/M2 (ARM64) Qemu HOWTO
---------------------------------------------------------------
# Create a working directory to hold our files
mkdir $HOME/minix3
cd $HOME/minix3
# Download the latest development snapshot (from 2017)
wget http://download.minix3.org/iso/snapshot/minix_R3.4.0rc6-d5e4fc0.iso.bz2
bunzip2 minix_R3.4.0rc6-d5e4fc0.iso.bz2
mv minix_R3.4.0rc6-d5e4fc0.iso minix34.iso
qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.img 10G
# Run this installer script

-m 256 \
-accel tcg \
-net nic,model=virtio \
-net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
-cdrom minix34.iso \

# It takes some time to boot on the M2 MacBook Air so please be
# patient it can take as long as 60 seconds or sometimes even more
# Once it boots, login as root (no password)
# And initiate the installation procedure by running setup
# more info is available here https://wiki.minix3.org/doku.php?id=usersguide:doinginstallation#runningsetup
setup
#You can use the AUTO setup features and choose the default values, or customize
# Network setup choose vio0 (1)
# Autimaticaly using DHCP (IPv4 only) (2)
# Quit
# in the shell run to shut down the system
shutdown -p now
#Now we run the Minix3 with this script

pkgin update
pkgin install openssh
cp /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/sshd /etc/rc.d/
printf 'sshd=YES\n' >> /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/sshd start
# Then we can SSH to the Minix from our MacOS as follows (to enable X11 forwarding as well)
ssh -XC -p 2222 user@localhost
# X11
-----
# Following xorg.conf works well on my M2 MacBook Air
# Save it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf

# I dont like the default TWM so install fluxbox instead
pkgin install fluxbox
# then add this to your users $HOME/.xinitrc
exec /usr/pkg/bin/startfluxbox
# then you can run startx under your user to get a X11 desktop
# modify $HOME/.fluxbox/menu accordingly to suite your needs
