It looks like BootX has told the kernel to set up for a 8192 KB 
RAMdisk, and the boot RAMdisk is actually larger than that, leading 
to the "attempt to access beyond end of device" messages and 
associated errors from other parts of the kernel.  Try setting BootX 
for a 16384 KB RAMdisk.

BTW, I think that you may actually run into problems with a 32MB 
machine during install, since you're going to be taking up 16MB for 
the RAMdisk -- but go ahead and try, it's worth a shot.
