Can only boot to CD Images booting to HD fails

Post by jawa78 »

I followed the guide on the site and had made a 2gig HD file and booted off a OS9.2.2 iso.
OS 9 installs with out an issue
switch the boot paramater to c and restart and it just hangs at the following

trying hd:,\\:tbxi...

It worked once and then then I had a crash but I even made a new hd image file and tried all over again but since the hard lock I have not been able to boot to HD images only CDs.

Any ideas?

Nevermind. A little more RTFM solved the issue.
