Does anyone know how to make boot disks for a NT install on a PowerMac?

Thanks,

Install Virtual PC.

Boot to DOS or Windows and type setup /ox. Or do this from a PC. Then you can boot from them.

Alternatively, load Soft Windows and do a dual boot.
 
Where can i get Virtual PC is it freeware?

Or Softwindows for that matter.
 
No. They cost around $100 each.

If you wish to do it for free, your only opportunity is to install NT for PowerPC but you are limited to any distributions before service pack 3 where support for that platform was dropped.

I have never tried installing it on that platform natively as I believe there were a lot of problems... Virtual PC would be your best bet. Or use a PC!
 
Installing NT4 for PowerPc is what I want to do. I just don't know how to make the needed boot disks and how to get the setup thing running.

Thanks,
