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. If you've already 
tried this, sorry.
Good luck

Re: A/UX Boot Problems

[Rob]

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

[Sque]

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.
