I haven't tried anything yet, as I had no idea whatsoever of what to try.
I've never had a 68k Mac with RAM before. ;-) I'll have to plug a hard
drive in that has MacOS on it. Right now, I'm booting with a system file
and the booter with its file type/creator set to "be" the finder. Works
quite nicely... if you don't want to run anything else.
