Nothing so complex. It just worked. My wife works for an educational
publisher; every once in a while they clear out their closets, and the
last time they did she brought home a ROM 00 GS and a //e with a SCSI
card. First thing I did was head over to Apple's download site and grab
GS/OS 6.0.1. Then I turned the disk images into disks, hooked up a
spare 40M drive to the GS with the SCSI card, and then booted,
partitioned and installed from the floppy set. All joy and yummies.
