| How do I make a system boot floppy on SE/SE30 |
Posted by: hunter44102 on 2017-02-25 04:40:39
Hi I am new to the compact Macs and have a question:
I have a working SE with hard drive and OS 7.5.3. and an SE/30 with only floppy drive. I have blank 800k and 1.44 disks.
How do I create a bootable system floppy disk using just the OS and a blank floppy?
(With PC's you can create a bootable disk right from the OS but wasn't sure if this function exists on the compact macs?).
I thought I read that you can copy system files and 'bless' them to make it bootable. If this is the case, which files?
or do I need to get a disk image?
Thanks!

Starting with OS7 the standard system folder doesn't really fit on a floppy. There are obviously sys7 boot floppies out there. However, there is no easy way to make one from the OS you have installed on your hard drive. So your best bet is to find a bootable disk image.
