I have been using blank disk images or ones that created by
my program HFS-image
However when you use the 'Create' button in the first window of Basilisk
(see picture) , there is odd behaviour by the OS installer program.
Apparently it doesn't see a file system inside the image and the
installer asks to initialize the disk. You must give permission to do this!!
...But watch out . Be careful that it is a blank image that
you are initializing. Allow the initialization and the installer
will proceed quickly to make the installion of OS 8. It takes only
about 4 minutes max.
