Very simple. Assuming you have not configured users to have individual
System Folders, boot A/UX and go into the System Folder on / (not on the
MacPartition or on any other MacOS partitions). Place your INITs, CDEVs,
etc., into the Extensions folder there.

Please be very careful about this, as 32-bit dirty INITs may very likely
cause you to be *unable* to get back into A/UX. I found this out the
hard way with the 8*24*GC CDEV. You'll have to undergo the harrowing
experience of rooting around in the Launcher shell.

They are typically text file based. Make sure inetd is starting (it's
enabled by switching it on in /etc/inittab, I think). Then modify
/etc/inetd.conf -- warning: it isn't terribly current in its format.

Naughty.

ftp.mayn.de had a few on their jagubox mirror.
