What am I doing wrong w/BlueSCSI and MacPack?

[larwe]

I am using the System 6.0.8 boot image linked from the BlueSCSI site as my primary boot. That works fine (and boots in seconds, yay solid state storage). But I want to get some applications into the image.

I downloaded MacPack and renamed the vhd to hda. I put the hda on my SD card with an appropriate name. The system now boots into 6.0.8 as normal but then I get a spinning watch cursor for a LOOOOOOONG time.... followed by a massive crash like this pic.

What am I doing wrong? This is a 4MB SE which is otherwise known stable and working. I was wondering if there was some conversion step I need to do - Google says Disk Jockey but Disk Jockey is for creating images, not converting them...?

Wait, so you are now using a different image rather than the original one?

No. I want to use the bare 6.0.8 image as my base so I'm booting off that. So my SD card has:
HD0-OpenRetroSCSI-6.0.8-500M.hda
then I add HD1-whatever.hda

System boots off HD0 and I expect to see HD1 mount whenever it gets around to it. For example I did this with a blank HD1 image so I could copy all the stuff off the internal HDDs in the SEs I have.

With other images this has worked fine and mounted both devices, but with MacPack not so much. I get this crash.

Perhaps the image is just corrupted then. I’d just find a replacement or get the software piecemeal from elsewhere.

Call me stupid, but that’s that got to do with a Plus?

I've downloaded it twice from two sources. No dice.
I really only want a newer version of MS-Word than the one I currently have. Nothing else matters

So essentially it wasn’t made for use on a real Plus then?
