Penguin does have issues, but AFAIK wiggling the settings doesn't affect
them. The Penguin docs cover the known issues:
http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/docs/penguin.php
A hang after "ABCFGHIJK" may indicate an unhandled interrupt (usually from
the ethernet chip). You can avoid that issue by disabling extensions
(restart MacOS with shift key held down) before booting Linux.

With only 16 MHz and 8 MB you really need to treat it like an embedded
system (busybox userland etc).
