Hmmm, curious. Assuming that the MacOS radio box is in fact enabled
(as Colin suggested) I don't know what would be causing this. I have tested
1.11.0 on a few machines and it boots from Mac OS kernel files just fine.
Adam, could I get you to try this 1.11.1b3 Booter, turn the debug
level up to 2 (0 is the default), and e-mail me the results?
P.S. I am cc:ing this mail to the list so that others can test this Booter
if they have the time. The main differences are saving the preferences
in a file, some dialog window re-arranging, and changes to Mac OS I/O
code. This is fairly close to what 1.11.1 will be.
[ snipped. This file is now in

Please feel free to ask me to put files up on puma--it's more
list-friendly...
