Actually, what I expected was a popup box saying that it was
unnecessary or unusable on the IIci. Perhaps it's designed for cases
like this, for an installation that may be booted on hardware with or
without 32-bit-clean ROMs.
I've put the IIx back on the shelf for the time being, though; it has
only 5M of RAM, which would make it pretty near unusable. This may be
fixable, but with another working mac68k machine (the IIci), I don't
need it at present.
