Hi Guys,
the last couple of days I've been trying to install the A/UX 3.0.1 onto my RaSCSI under SE/30 with a Mac-ROMinator. Unfortunately, to no avail.
Firstly:
I do not have a working floppy drive, so I tried to go around that by using Basilisk and creating disk images. Unfortunately, a disk image simply copy-pasted from the original boot floppy for AUX install gets stuck on the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen. Now, when I replace the system folder with the one that's on the Mac-ROMinator ROM drive, it boots, but it does not auto-start the actual unix nor the installation process. When I run it manually, it drops a million errors before it even starts loading (it just displays the 'command prompt').
I noticed the original boot floppy (downloaded from MacintoshRepository) has 2 extensions on it - Hardware System Update and CD Hack. So, I copy-pasted those two files onto my fake-floppy boot disk with the system folder from Mac-ROMinator. Unfortunately, it once again gets stuck on the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen.
In RaSCSI I have selected for the actual A/UX install ISO to mimic the Apple CD rom. This drive always shows up without issues.
Is this stuck screen perhaps because of the 32bit ROM?
Secondly:
Does some kind soul have an ready-to-go image from their RaSCSI (I've seen the one for blueSCSI but that's an IMG file, which RaSCSI doesn't recognise and which IDK how to convert to other ones without messing it up)? Or maybe faced this issue themselves and knows how to work with this?
Cheers!
