Hello,

thanks for the quick answer...

Yeah; I tried 5 different floppies for the root image... And after
they failed, I tested them as boot-floppy and there they
worked... Putting the root image on again made them fail again... :-(

Yes, I can, but: 

How do I unpack sit files under linux? I have an old version of
LinuxPPC, hfsutils is installed, but I don't see anything that could
do that... Maybe it's too old, or - more probable - I'm blind...


Or, maybe, it's magic, and the Mac just doesn't want to work on
weekends... ;-)

Thanks,
bye,
