- You can copy (drag and drop) the install disks to the Mac hard drive
- and install from there.
-
- The difficulty is that the Mac install software is coded for some low
- level hardware response from the floppy disks when ejecting that seems
- not implimented in the emulation or not possible with Amiga hardware.
-
- I suggest you make sure you can boot from your hard drive before you
- start installing a lot of stuff to it. Even though a Mac requester
- pops up offering to format a volume, I had to click on the hard disk
- icon and pull down Erase for the Mac to boot from it properly.
-
- I made the hard disk bootable by copying the contents of the Disk Tools
- disk to the hard disk.
