Thanks for the suggestion.  Installing the "Wish" extension to change the

So now it proceeds to "booting system..." at which point it hangs with no
visible artifacts on the screen.  While I don't expect it to work without
kernel changes, the problem here is that I don't have any way of knowing
whether it booted as far as the kernel or died in the MkLinux booter.
I'll see if anything comes out the serial port, but I doubt it.

Any ideas on how I might find out?  At least with BootX I could enable
debugging messages.

Try a gestalt ID for other machine type like 41 for Performa 5200.
It is at least similar to your machine in that its frame buffer
address should be the same as yours.
