[Rpcemu] Attempting to install ADFFS on RPCEmu using Mac 0.9.3a build

Hello,

Aside from owning an Archimedies around 25 years ago I haven't touched RISC OS since. I'm running macOS 10.13.6. and I'm attempting to use the Mac 0.9.3a release from here


to run the RISC OS 5.27 easystart bundle from here


I installed the RPCEmu-Recompiler version fine and extracted the "other platforms edition" of the easystart bundle and copied this into the Data directory. 

RPCEmu boots up absolutely fine, and I can run programs, networking is fine and I can access the web etc.

However, when I try to following the instructions on installing ADFFS from JASSP here (admittedly this is for a Pi)


I run into an issue. The !Boot.Loader is not seen as a directory, either in RISC OS or on my Mac - it appears as a text file on RISC OS and as a Unix executable on my Mac. 

I can neither complete the instructions on the YouTube video or the text instructions here


as I can't view/edit/create the !Boot.Loader.CONFIG/TXT or !Boot.Loader.CMDLINE/TXT files. 

I'm not sure why this is, and I would greatly appreciate any help and advice as to how to proceed.

Many thanks and best wishes,
Luke Abraham
