> To start off the install, we begin with the “System setup and README” disk. We need to partition the disk, and then do something counter-intuitive: install System 6 on a Mac partition. This is because there’s a Mac application that kicks off the A/UX boot process: SASH; the A/UX standalone shell. This ‘pre-boot environment’ allows for launching an A/UX kernel and also some disk and recovery operations.
Funny how that rhythms with having a macOS install next to Asahi Linux. The more things change:)
Also, swapping through 26 floppies to install would have been... Something.
