Summary MESS-specific 06559: All sets in apple2gs.cpp: System 6.0.x freezes on boot
Description CHDs containing an install of System 6.0.x do not boot to the desktop in MAME. The IIgs freezes on the progress bar when booting.
Steps To Reproduce 1. Download a ProDOS hard drive image containing Apple IIgs System 6.0.4: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/gs/os/gsos/Apple_IIGS_System_6.0.4/Live.Install.po
2. Convert it to a chd with chdman: chdman createhd -i Live.Install.po -o Live.Install.chd
3. Start apple2gs. Add a cffa2 device in any slot and mount Live.Install.chd.
4. Reboot the emulated system. The OS will start to boot, then hang on the boot progress bar.
Additional Information When using the emulator ActiveGS, the disk image successfully boots to the desktop so the disk image itself is OK.

I think it has something to do with the disk controller emulation but I'm not a IIgs expert by any means so I could be wrong.

Your snapshot shows 6.0.3 even though you linked 6.0.4, I get the same result with it showing 6.0.4

Even with no compression the CHD is just over 5 MB with the source image around 32 MB
