I am trying to install Ultrix 4.5.

I already tried exactly what you mention:
With the MO it does not work, not even with 512-byte media - I have no
idea why.
I can boot the Ultrix installer from a harddisk however. The installer
complains about not being able to find any usable distributon media (I
can look up the exact error message if needed). I suppose he is looking
for a tape or cd drive...

I never installed Ultrix so I have no idea if I can fix this problem or
install the system manually circumventing the installer.
