Re: Boot System 6.0.1 on a Zip 250 disk from floppy?
My backup volumes on the Zip (32 meg partitions) ARE formatted in Prodos. I
could therefore do a volume to volume backup from my hard drive 32 meg
partitions. Saved a lot of time compared to file backups. My current
problem is, now that I don't have a SCSI hard drive, how do I boot from the
Zip partition (volume). I am running the lastest RamFast revision on a
Ramfast controller.
How do i use a 3.6 'boot disk' to boot into GSOS on the Zip volume
(partition)??
