OK, I messed everything up by using sysinst (the way I did on my OF1 
box). Should of course have set op an HFS partition on the same disk 
(to contain ofwboot.xcf) and then manually add the remaining partitions 
and do a 'manual' install. Now it works and I'm trying to get XFree86 
to run on my eMac...
