In
ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.0/mac/
you will find
Squeak3.0-3545-MacOS-full.sit.bin

That will get you the image and changes file. Now the trick here is 
not to let stuffit or expander convert lf/cr to cr. this trashes the 
image file which results in errors like above. So check the 
preferences for the decompression tool you are using on the Mac to 
ensure it doesn't convert line Feeds.


Squeak3.0.11-MacOS-VM.sit.bin
is the current/newest VM.
