Can anyone tell me what's wrong as I have tried to burn it to CD using the image I found at ftp://ftp.geo.tu-freiberg.de/ and once it is burnt, the installer on the floppy won't recognise it as a installer disc. Is the problem with how I formatted it (HFS) or could it be the software I used to burn it (a fairly old version of toast)? The hardware I'm trying to run it on is a Quadra 650 with 40mb RAM, 250mb hard drive and, of course, a CD-ROM drive. |

The CD-ROM drive is, in all likelyhood, the standard Apple CD-ROM. My theory is that I shouldn't have burned it as a HFS format CD, but I have to know for sure. Any advice would be appreciated greatly.

I know that is' not ISO9660 or HFS, but maybe you are having a SCSI conflict?I know that really, the onlyones that are sure to work have the apple logo somewhere on them, and it looks official, some Sony drives work I think but only the Caddy Loads work... is your drive a caddy or a tray loader?

oldmacman is right. It's likely an ext2 formatted image (i.e. Unix/Linux filesytem); but the trick is not to format the CD, not to even mount the image--just burn it direct to CD. Recent versions of toast will do this, as will OS X's Disk Copy. The Classic Mac OS Disk Copy (v.6.3.3) might do this as well; I don't know.Matt No rank Permanent 68k roommates:

try redownloading the A/UX image from here. make sure you download the one in the middle to burn to CD, the 3.11 is JUST AN UPDATER, and I am not even sure that it works. Whenever I tried to download it, it failed miserably. ignore the message that the file is not up at the moment, and as the SuSE Linux people say, Have A Lot Of Fun!!!CCC Lieutennant Commander (Pronounced Leftennant)

Aha! It works...almost. The install completed but now the computer just complains about the system software being too old, my theory is the problem's with the system enabler or lack thereof on the MacPartition.

It's likely there's no 040 Enabler on MacPartition (in its System Folder). You can download this from Apple here: http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html It's a long list, but it's in there. Matt No rank Permanent 68k roommates:

I got the toast image from ftp://ftp.geo.tu-freiberg.de too and I could'nt figure out how to burn it in Toast. I was using a PowerMac with Roxio Toast Titanium 5. I could mount the image in the finder but it would only be 12mb, which is'nt right. How do you one of those 'raw' writes or how do I burn this CD?
