Boot Problems with OS 8.6 ROM
I've got the ROM from the OS 8.6 (or the update), and SheepShaver for Windows (unfortunately).
I've tried the PPC Boot Disk for 8.1, the 7.6 Boot Disk and the 8.5 Disk Tools disk, but nothing seems to work.
Can somebody point me to a new world boot disk from 8.6 or 9?

Here you go, with this config the rom starts to load the disk and then just closes...

Elsewhere it was discovered that the OS 8.5 boot floppy apparently doesn't work on SheepShaver. The CD-ROM is needed.
Older boot floppies might work (like OS 8.1 PPC), but you would need an appropriate Old World ROM to do that.
I don't think I saw a OS 9.x boot floppy image on my Universal OS 9.0.4 CD. Doubt there is an OS 8.6 boot floppy either. It would be neat if the OS 8.5 boot floppy worked as anyone could download the New World ROM and floppy image and use SheepShaver.
