[Maybe OT] A/UX installation

I think A/UX 3.0 is only 7 years old, so its not really on topic, but it
_is_ dead, so that has to account for something!

I recently downloaded the CD image of the A/UX 3.0.1 installation CD & a
boot disk from http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/syslist.html

I got the boot disk extracted (it was a diskcopy_image) and the CD image
itself was gzipped. I gunzipped it on my linux box and burned it onto a
CD with:

cdrecord -speed 8 -dev 0,6,0 -eject -v AUX_3.0.1_Install.toast_image


When I try to boot up on a IIci, the floppy works ok, and it starts to
search for the CD in the CD drive. The cd drive is a toshiba 5401B, I
pulled from an alpha. It never finds a valid disk. So, to try to
figure out what was wrong, I used BasiliskII (a mac-on-unix emulation)
and tried to mount the CD image as a disk under system 7.6...and it
wanted to format it. Should the CD be mountable?

With this bit of experimentation, it looks like the CD image isn't
right.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
