Under the Preferences/General Menu of A/UX Startup, there is a radio-box called “Password checking”. This is intended to provide some security for the A/UX Startup application. When enabled, two (default) things happen: • A/UX Startup requires a password to open. • MacOS partition(s) are only mounted for root login. Thus, to enable MacOS partition(s) to be available for all users, you must disable “Password checking”. See auxstartuprc(4) for more info.
