I boot a minimal System 7.1 with Mode32 and 32 bit addressing turned on. Here's what happens: Everything seems ok at first, then the boot pauses on: PRAM:0x3159380b, macos_boottime:0x315937fe At which point, I simply hit return and the thing continues to boot, then finally I end up in an infinite repeating loop of: db>kernal:illegal instruction trap caught exception in ddb That goes on ad infinitum. Any advice for this newbie? Jonathan urbach@fas.harvard.edu
