I've done it a few times with no problems on both an upgraded 7500 and a PowerComputing machine. I had to install BootX on the Mac partiion first because it wouldn't boot from the CD key, but that was my only problem.

This assume that all of my SCSI problems aren't associated with the upgrade cards.
