Re: SE/30 makes it to 'J' - but no boot
I had the exact same thing attempting to install on a
Mac IIcx (which is almost identical internally to an
SE/30)...booter showed 5 lines ending in ABCDEFGHIJ.
I gave up and turned my attentions to RedHat on a
PeeCee. Maybe I'll return to the old IIcx one day...
