BlueScsi CD images

Got my BlueScsi kit today, it works.. after trying some installs via SheepShaver I wonder how to add bootable CD images to the .hda file sd card.
I mean you just simply add the blank system image and after that the install CD/ image in the sheepshaver menu, thats no prob.
But after that you basically just can directly install the system in SheepShaver, remove the CD image afterwards and then copy/rename the .hda file onto the sd card, fine.
But I actually just want the bootable CD install images on the sd card and then install them on the actual machine..big difference.

I don’t have one of these Blue contraptions but I’ve read it should be just a matter of choosing image files with a SCSI ID attached as far as I’m aware.

ok, it just seems to be an issue of adding more blanks..
Are you wanting to boot from ISO bootable system CD installers and then connecting blank hard drive images to the BlueSCSI, and installing Mac OS from those system software CD images onto blank hard drive images?

BlueSCSI should support ISO and .toast images natively, installed 9.1 on my PDQ (on the internal drive) that way last week.

HDs and ISOs are both being recognized, they appear on the desktop after boot and the ISO (or toast) can be installed..I just had to set up two different .hda files with their own scsi IDs ( HD50, HD30 (CD))
