The real problem is that 1.1 is VERY old, like 2 years. I bet most of
us have forgotten many of the common problems with it. Like the fact there
is a bug in the baud rate selection on the IIsi. :-(

Also note you're looking at a recent FAQ. I'm not sure what the status of
the Portrait display was two years ago.

I'd recomend at least grabbing a 1.2.1 kernel and 1.2.1 base. Many bugs
were fixed, and also we will be better-able to help with any problems
you do have.

The current error message says:
You're hosed!  Try booting with 32-bit addressing

Grey Bars dissapeared some time before 1.1. I'd hope the current booter
(1.11) doesn't mention them.

Apple's formatters generally don't work with non-Apple drives, unless
you hack on the program (there's one resource you need to change to
make it deal with non-Apple drives).

Take care,
