Re: [B2-devel] Various issues SheepShaver OSX

[Ronald P. R. <ron...@xs...>]

It took me a while to get (somewhat) familiar with the new GitHub repository. But I found where the problem with CD-ROMs not mounting in SheepShaver MacOSX started.

It started April 21, 2012 with commit
6ee2964818c58fd6d7c512d9f61d2a9d343ebf20
"Fix inverted check from my previous commit."

The commit immediately before that:
2b348f7c4158022d8747ba7fe22c93197d6a059b
"Don't start the Darwin media_thread if "nocdrom" pref is set."
Mounts CD-ROMs alright.

Not sure, but I suppose the "fix" was made by mistake because of the description
"Don't start the Darwin media_thread if "nocdrom" pref is set."
It could better have been described:
Start the Darwin media_thread only if "nocdrom" pref is not set.

;-)
