Aloha from Maui,
My best guess is that there is more to it than just
"old world" and "new world"
machine differences ... and that the "latest new
world" machines need a different
syntax, "\\\\" instead of "\\". My brand new iMac 500
is the latest release and the
"\\" does not work. It might be helpful for users who
are having trouble with the
instructions in the CS 1.2.1 manual ... and who have
the "latest new world" machines,
to try the new "\\\\" syntax. Remember to add the
partition number, i.e.
"image=hd:[partition number where files were copied
to],[\\] or [\\\\]vmlinux". Mine
reads "image=hd:9,\\\\vmlinux" without the quote marks
of course and I copied the
files to System Folder on OS 9.
Aloha,
John Twelker
Maui
