System problem
OK, when I installed A/UX on my IIci yesterday I partitioned the disk up with 256MB surplus for a non-A/UX System (separate from the MacPartition). I installed Sys 6.0.8 on it and was thoroughly impressed to get a 10 second boot cycle on a hot reset and an 18 second boot from cold. I now have a problem that I can't get it to boot the A/UX System 7 partition, no matter how many times I tell it to in System 6.

Re: System problem
Please, please, move this thread to MaX! We really do love new users there and won't abuse them too roughly! OK, when I installed A/UX on my IIci yesterday I partitioned the disk up with 256MB surplus for a non-A/UX System (separate from the MacPartition). I installed Sys 6.0.8 on it and was thoroughly impressed to get a 10 second boot cycle on a hot reset and an 18 second boot from cold. I now have a problem that I can't get it to boot the A/UX System 7 partition, no matter how many times I tell it to in System 6. What do I do? Hmm -- haven't tried the booter in System 6, but if you're not 32-bit clean, you may be SOL. See what it does. I don't know if the booter even works in 6.x. On my System 7.1 IIci, I have an alias to the booter on the MacPartition in the Startup Items folder of the main MacOS partition. A/UX really doesn't care which partition is booting it. The reason I have the MacPartition and my main MacOS partition separated is actually for upgrades which may merrily destroy your main MacOS partition if you don't give them the MacPartition to work on. The 3.1 upgrade is one such (notorious) example. -- - personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Obscenity is the last refuge of a weak mind. -- Bonnie Fortney - -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
