I downloaded the A/UX boot floppy. In FreeBSD, on a PC, I used dd if=aux-boot.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k. However, when I tried booting it from a SE/30, it didn't work. Not sure what's going on. Any info?

Do you have access to a Mac? If so, just use Disk Copy's "Make Floppy" command.

As for FreeBSD, can you write a floppy in the way you've described without screwing up the Mac data fork/resource fork dual file structure?

Does SE/30 even support AUX?

Seems like an old beast for AUX.

It will if you put a IIsi ROM in it.

I thought that the SE/30 supported A/UX anyway....

tBoJ, an SE/30 is not a "beast" for A/UX, especially if the IIsi isn't... and there's only a 4 MHz speed difference from a IIsi and a SE/30, and the IIsi almost shipped with a 25MHz processor, rather than a 20MHz, but y'all know the story about nto competing with the IIci

(iici could've been for graphics, the IIsi for audio work, and both 25MHz and no competition I'd think...) (or whatever the IIci was "for" anyway )
