I've yet to succeed on my PM 7500, but some other tips I've gleaned off
this list are as follows:

1.) Name your Mac partition "Macintosh HD".
2.) Make your boot disk 100 mb instead of 10.
3.) Try Base install if others don't work.
4.) Try YDL 2.2 instead.

That last one raises +my+ question--can I choose YDL 2.2 from the 2.3 disk
in BootX? Or do I have to get the 2.2 CD?

Thanks,
