[QUOTE="jhelm007, post: 129054, member: 6916"] Macs will boot linux from ISO, but will (I'm told) only boot mac install discs from HFS+. Still doesn't explain why your OS 8.6 SCSI disk won't work. Here is one thing to try. With the SCSI HD installed. Boot holding down the option key. If this is the right kind of keyboard voodoo, it will give you a list of all of the available boot drives (in this case just the SCSI drive). Also holding down C durring boot forces the mac to try to boot from CD. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
