Hello,
how to avoid this message while booting the content of a
MacOS 7.6.x rescue-floppy from the harddisk of a PowerBook 520:
"With this system software you can only start from a floppy.
Please install the whole system from your floppies or cd's
[snip...] (OK)"
MacOS should be kept as small as possible on this box.
It's partition contains a (German)
- Systemordner (system-folder) with
- System (916K)
- Finder (289K)
- Disk Tools 1 Enabler (2K)
- Apple-Menu (empty folder)
- Kontrollfelder (control-fields, empty folder)
- Preferences (empty folder)
- Startobjekte (empty folder)
- Systemerweiterungen (extensions, empty folder)
- Zeichensaetze (fonts, empty folder)
Booting from floppy instead of harddisk doesn't show any behavior
like this but it's way too slow.
Any hints for a clueless Mac-user? :-)
Thanks,
Tino
