Old World booting on New World Mac?

[Dara Hazeghi]

Hi all,

first, thanks to Samuel for a great job! Latest BK tree boots 10.2.4 
flawlessly, and 9.2 works great too!

I'm wondering what the status of OldWorld booting support is. I have a 
TiBook (Rev B) 667, which I want to install MacOS 8.1 on. I've got a 
PowerMac 8500 ROM, which I want to use to boot. Unfortunately, this 
doesn't seem to work. It just hangs after loading the ROM. Any 
suggestions are welcome. Thanks,

Dara
