I don't know about impossible, but after reading all the problems
with non-fpu machines on 1.4 and 1.5, I put in a full 040 before I
started using it in 1.5.
When I went to 1.6 the only problem I had was trying to use
Booter2.0.0a10 for sysinstall. The installation failed every time
with segmentation fault as it was expanding the tarballs.
Booter2.0.0a7 worked for all my macs (IIci, IIsi, 660av, and Centris
610).
