Thank you Stew. I do not aim at installing an heavy Mac OS (I will probably stay at the 8.5), so 64MB will be far enough, I guess. I apologize for being always so hazy. Here what occurs. First, at booting Mac OS, I get en error message: "Error, could not find a suitable kernel file. File BootX.c, line 1086" I cancel and I go to the Mac OS desktop. I click on the icon BootX App. The Performa reboots and ... I quote: adb: starting probe task... VFS: cannot open root device "" or 08:01 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root 8s on 08:01 <0> Rebooting in 180 seconds. End of quotation. But I wonder if I had not made a mistake in copying "root 8s.." sorry again. I hope it can help, even a little, anyway... Best, Jo.
