	Ok... I found one problem... when I formatted the syquest disk 
using Mkfs, I forgot to make the changes documented in the syquest 
HOWTO... I reformatted it, and I tried to boot from a Mac side kernel 
(the special LCIII kernel 11/28) and it didn't get any farther... this 
time, I wrote down the error though:  It malloced the RAM, set a lot of 
environment variables, and said:


Set _mac68k_vrsrc_rec to {0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 }.

and hung...  Again, it never got out of the booter.  There was a similar 
Set _Mac68k thing above this one, but this is the one that crashes.

	They are disabled... I'm booting with Extra debugging info ON, 
Single User mode ON, Dont bug me about untested machine ON, and 
everything else is OFF.

The only thing that I could think of is that partition name section in 
the booter dialog... it is set to MacBSD or some such default... should I 
change it to "AUX Root&Usr slice 0"?

What is the latest version of Mkfs?  I have a really old one without a 
version number.  Is 1.0 the latest Install utility?  

Thanks a lot!
