Hi everyone,
I have a (beige desktop) Power Mac G3 with a broken internal hard drive. I'm trying to set up a SCSI2SD v.5.5 with a bootable disk image so I can boot over SCSI. However, I can't seem to get the settings right, and I don't think I'm configuring something properly. Here are my specs:
Disk image is ~1GB in Mac OS Extended format, dumped from a real hard drive. It's Mac OS 8.5, and it boots fine in an emulator. I'd ideally like to have the disk capacity on the card be at least 5GB.
I'm on an M1 MacBook, but I have an Intel Mac available if need be.
I tried to use the dd command to copy the image over to the card through a SD card adapter (which seemed to work fine), but the G3 wasn't happy with it and wouldn't boot (using the startup key combinations to tell it to select the appropriate SCSI device number).
Do I have to set up the card through the SCSI2SD device itself first somehow before imaging?
Thanks in advance.
