Whether or not a Mac partition mounts under A/UX depends on a number of factors… Necessary conditions for a partition to mount are: • The disk must be partitioned using the “new” partitioning scheme detailed in Inside Macintosh V. There is still plenty of disk software out there that uses the “old” scheme and this drives will not mount under A/UX. Generic disk formatters that use the “new” scheme include SilverLining and FWB Hard Disk Toolkit. Most major disk vendors supply A/UX compatible formatting s/w. • The partition must mount under MacOS before A/UX is booted. A/UX only tries to mount partitions that were already when it was booted. So, if you use an application to boot A/UX and this application runs before a partition is mounted, A/UX won’t mount it for you. If you have a removable drive (such as SyQuest), you must insert the disk before you boot A/UX… this means you can’t swap cartridges under A/UX. Sometimes, the partition map isn’t correct for the MacOS partition; In part
