<notes > The floppies can boot on both CISC and RISC systems due to some bootloader magic, but the MO image is only for the first wave of RISC NEWS machines (NWS-3000 series)</notes>

The installation floppy and MO disk work, but the format disk hangs after printing a few messages on RISC systems.

Therefore, use of this kit requires use of a pre-formatted hard disk image for now.
The disk image loads on the CISC NEWS driver, so it is most likely an emulation issue, not a disk image issue.
