SFS is read-only under OS4 Classic

@ TribbleSmasher

Good idea, but I just booted OS4 with no startup-sequence and the Info command still reports SFS partitions as read-only.

@ Niels

I tried kickstart modules of 1.279 and 1.286 - still no luck.




Does the OS4 installer do anything special apart from copy files and set the specified preferences? I ask because my re-install attempt crashed partway through and I ended up copying the rest of the files by hand. Is there some sneaky script that tells the system it's "ready"? I found the one for the SObjs: softlinks, but is there something that's part of the install script that my non-Python-knowing eyes can't see?

I' dont know why but iirc something like that will happen if you install to a non-empty partition.
