But when trying to boot, it comes up with an error message: Open on 'newunix' failed. I tried changing the limited settings in the launcher, but nothing seems to make a difference. I can list the directory contents and cat several text files, but nothing else. I can't find too much related to this error message on the net. Still battling to get it on mine without the cd drive which might be a problem. ;) Anyway have you looked at http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/os/aux/ Under the subheading: Installation, third paragraph.

Re: A/UX Boot Problems
Thanks for the reply. I've installed it three times, once as is written on this web page. Once as a default easy install and once as the way that I would do it. None of them will boot. It seems as though the directory structure is fine, so I'll have to keep working on it. Now that I have something that seems to install, perhaps I will drag one of the other machines out and try it on there. Maybe I'm missing a system enabler? Although, I've read that as long as the installer works OK, then I shouldn't need anything else. If the full system would come up, then I would have the full suite of Unix tools to help get this fixed. But the way it sits, it is very limited.

Re: A/UX Boot Problems
The documentation is wonderful. :) if you could find some. Half way through a network install of Debian on what was my Q800 now C650. Have you taken the long walk through http://www.faqs.org/faqs/aux-faq/part1/ maybe you'll find something in the 4 pages, probably seen that one too. Good luck. Rob wrote: Thanks for the reply.
