I am not an expert in this, but when I first tried to install System 7.1 on my AmaxIV I had a lot of problems, but for some strange reason it worked the fourth time! I agree that there is a very high sensitivity to floppy disk recognition and that changing disks with Amax frequently does not work. My impression in general is that if I move the disk icon to the trash (as opposed to "ejecting" the disk via menu) it is more dependable. I guess this is hard to do with the install program however. I never found out what I did the fourth time that I did not do earlier other than to be persistent. Did you mount and select boot disk from the Amax startup program?
