PowerMac 7100/80 won't boot
So if it prompts me for nothing after I try to boot from the .img file, that
means something like I don't have enough memory to complete the installation
i'm guessing
I'm using a 7100/80 with NuBus. I think it has 24MB. is there an even more
scaled-down kernel I can use?
