Some people here had some unused copies of A/UX, 
and when they finally tried to install it on a new MacSI, a failure occured.

The report on the screen says (approximately. I got the info from a phone).
-----
Autorecovery
SCSI reset
disk c5d0s0 error: SCSI timeout
generic disk c5d0s0 fatal error: logical block 0, physical block 195904
(repeated three times)

fsck: can't determine file system type of /dev/default
fsck: no file system specified

and finally

chroot failed
---------------

We updated an external 80 Meg Apple disk using the 2.0.1 Update we got
via ftp.

This same disk worked fine with a MacCI, but when we moved the disk to
a MacSI, we got the above error.  The user tells me the system
software on the 80 Meg drive is 6.0.7.

Any clues? 
Do we need the A/UX startup files that the Floppy update provides?
(We are also placing a call to Apple.)

Thanks for any help.
