What I found seems to have been related to not using yaboot. As I have a
'old 7500' with MacOS8.1 I thought BootX would be just fine. But maybe
not. Can I use yaboot on my machine? The WebPages are not very clear on
that part. BenH's site states that yaboot is onbly for 'NewWorld' macs,
but Eric's FAQ states that yaboot is for 'NewWorld' macs, but users of
earlier machines should consider switching if they encounter odd problems
...

Well I do encounter strange Problems ...

So should I go through the hassel of installing yaboot?
