Many thanks for replying to my e-mail
The problem was booting on a classic with 68030 accelerator aborting and
indicating "need a 68030 CPU".
Gestalt reports as follows:
gestaltProcessorType = 4 indicating 68030
gestaltMachineType = 17 indicating MacClassic
If the boot program uses Gestalt for determining the processor type, then
I guess I shouldn't have seen the error message I did. This seems to indicate
a bug somewhere in the boot process.
