Ran into nasty problems booting with BootX on a G4, as I was trying to
have exactly the same environment on my G4 as I was going to have on the
PowerBase. Then, I finaly got the PowerBase. So basically, it was legacy
from having needed to get the system up and running before the final
machine actually arrived. Caused some hiccups.

Probably. I ran into several. Anyway, got the thing working. :-)
