ok so I tried this again because I keep reading that yet I am not having any luck, I think these old macs are just messing with me now for being away for so long lol

ok so here is what I did

formatted 7 partitions

500MB

700MB

1000MB

1000MB

1000MB

1000MB

1000MB

I can write to all of them no problem, as soon as I reboot I get a flashing ?, boot off floppy, go into disk utility and try and mount it again it tells me I can't mount a volume >4gb without a 68040... if I go to initialize it it shows all 7 partitions are still there?

what I am doing wrong here??

boot floppy has 7.6.1 using Drive Setup 1.7.3
