Are you making sure to mount your disk images as FLOPPY disk images rather than SCSI images?

And are you using "Macintosh Classic" mode with the proper ROM image?

http://www.emulators.com/docs/index.htm

"SoftMac does support disk volume images created on the Macintosh (.IMG, .HFX, and .HFV files) and true SCSI hard disk and CD-ROM disk image files created by Gemulator Explorer (.DSK and .CD files). The disk volume images created on the Macintosh are not true SCSI disk images (as they lack the boot sector, partition map, and other critical disk sector). Therefore they must be mounted as floppy disk devices. The Mac OS will simply see them as large floppy disks, regardless of the size."

You should not do it like that.

Here's what the documentation says:

"There are 3 distinct Macintosh hardware configurations that are emulated by SoftMac XP are:

* the black and white System 6.0 and 7.0 compatible 68000 Macintosh Classic
* the basic System 7.0, 7.1, and 7.5 compatible color 24-bit 68020/68030 Macintosh II
* the Mac OS 7.6, 8.0, and 8.1 compatible 32-bit 68040 Macintosh Quadra"

I Used Mac OS 6.0.8 And It Says The Startup Disk Will Not Work On This Macintosh Model. Use The Latest Installer To Update This Disk For This Model. System 6.0.8 Will Not Work On This Model. You Need a Newer Version That Does.

Mac OS 7.5.5 Worked
