 Sysinst cannot run.

 If it helps, it's clear that the powermac isn't keen on my CRT
 monitors, despite trying on both a Geforce 2 and a Geforce Ti 4600 and
 in OS X/9.
 
 The Geforce 2 starts in 640x480 but can be modified to use a higher
 resolution in OS X/9. The Ti4600 doesn't like the CRT monitors at all
 (TFT via DVI-D is ok). Despite the fact the monitors are capable of
 2048x1536, it's refusing to budge off 640x480. Other computers are
 perfectly fine, so the mac is obviously being a bit special..
