Re: problem booting hard disk after floppy/NFS install on a 7200/90

AFAIR, OF is hopelessly broken for the 7200/8200's built-in display
adapter. Or a matching driver is even missing altogether... don't know.
Anyway,

I'd suggest you follow this advice and create a minimal MacOS install on
a smallish partition, and use BootX as a start from there.
Once you get that working, you can try to set up quik. You'll need a
serial console attached to the modem port (I think) setup for 38000,8n1.
Holding Cmd-Opt-O-F should get you an OF promt on the console, then.
Cheers
Michel
