What You Need Before proceeding, make sure you have the following items within reach:

Mount The GS/OS Installer Disks Unlike with a real IIgs, you can mount all 6 installer disks at once. This frees you from swapping disks during the installation process. Mount the first installer disk ("Disk 1 of 7-Install"), then the second, and so forth. |

Mount The Target Disk Lastly, mount the disk image where you would like to install GS/OS onto. |

Check Bernie Settings Now open the Setup menu in Bernie's menu bar and make sure that the item "Low-Level Disk Support" is deselected. It must not have a check mark to the left. If "Low-Level Disk Support" is selected, choose it once to toggle its state. |
|
|
Reboot The IIgs With all the disk images mounted properly and Low-Level Disk Support disabled, you're settled for a GS/OS install. Reboot the emulated Apple IIgs by choosing "Reset" from Bernie's Setup menu. |
|
|
Start Custom Install After some time, the Installer is loaded and the main window is shown. Push the "Customize" button. |
|
|
Choose Target Disk If the text at the top ("Disk to update:") is not pointing at the target disk, push the "Disk" button (lower right corner in the window) until its name appears. Then, choose the option "System 6: hard Disk or FDHD" from the list of choices and push the "Install" button. |
|
|
Wait... The Installer will now write the required files to the target disk. This process may take a while. |
|
|
Done! Congratulations, you now have a fully functional GS/OS startup disk. You might want to consider making this disk your default startup disk in Bernie so that every time you launch Bernie, this disk will be mounted automatically. |
