OK managed to skip the Quik installation. (I'll have to write up a SxS mentioning how to do this) > > I went through several iterations of disk partioning schemes without any > > successful install.

There are 7 of em put there by the MacOS 9 disk utility (6 small ones). I have one disk and it was labeled hdb when partioning. So that would be 'mount -t hfs (It's hfs)/dev/hdb7 (MacOS was installed on the 7th partition). There are a bunch of small Apple/MacOS partitions before this. But I assume since you mentioned system folder that it's has to go on the larger MacOS partition where the Mac system folder is; correct ? > mount -t hfs /dev/... /mnt > > (or hfsplus), and copy the new initrd into it: > > cp -p /target/boot/initrd.gz '/mnt/System Folder' There didn't appear to be an 'initrd.gz' but there was an 'initrd'. Same thing right ? On /mnt I didn't have a directory 'System Folder', however mount didn't through any complaints when mounting hdb7, so I assume that was OK. > At this point you should have the kernel package installed on target partition. Unfortunately it didn't boot. I'm getting close though. Any ideas ? Thanks. -- Regards, S.D.Allen - Toronto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
