You can boot the 1st ISO from Open Firmware: boot cd:2,\\:tbxi or boot cd:2,\\yaboot The technique used in testboot4 will be applied in the next Beta. I know it seems a hassle to insist on that bootstrap, but if it's not there, the whole thing falls apart - you'll have a nicely installed system and no way to boot it. In the updates, I've replaced that halt with a warning, but if the user proceeds and does not heed the warning and does not create the bootstrap themselves, again you'll be stuck. (this applies to "NewWorld" machines - "OldWorld" machines bypass the bootstrap setup - you'll need to setup BootX on the MacOS side. All the installer really wants to see is some Apple_Free space at the end of the drive to create the bootstrap.
