I forgot to add this to my previous posting, so please forgive me.

You have to specify what type disk most resembles the one which you will be
installing A/UX. Of course, the have the Apple 20-80-160SC disks, but none
others other than "generic"...

What does this do? I mean, I have a CDC/Imprimis/Wren 173, so I have to choose
generic. At least I GUESS I do. After all, what does resemble mean. Can I 
select HD 160 SC and HOPE it works, or will generic make sure that everything
is OK (i.e., you could select generic for all Apple disks and the installation
would STILL work OK, and performance would not suffer. I assume it is at this
point that mkfs creates the file system, so you would HOPE that it creates
the right blocksize, etc...
