A/UX 3.0.1 installs from a ZuluSCSI fine and easily, no need to muck about with optical media. I just did this on a Q650 today.
Copy a big empty HD image to the SD card as hd0.img and copy the A/UX CD as cd1.iso or some other ID if you prefer. Make sure the Apple Quirks switch is set. Then boot using the installation boot floppy and install as normal on a blank disc. (If you go for an easy install, it'll tell you that you need to manually initialise the disc first: you can get to HD SC Setup under Custom Install -> Disk Setup in the A/UX installer).
Note that both the installation and the "creating filesystems" stage take ages on a big virtual disc. Do not be alarmed if it sits there for ages.
This requires far less mucking about than installing from a scsi2sd, IME.
