The boot floppy included in the iso doesn't recognize the video
card of VPC; you need to make another boot disk that does. Use
the tools included on the cd to make a boot disk and change vgadb
to:
ctlr
0xC000E="VIDEO B"
link=vga
hwgc=s3hwgc linear=1
ctlr=trio64 link=ibm8514
If your imac doesn't have a floppy drive:
(1) find a pc to make the floppy
(2) find a pc with VPC installed and convert your floppy
to a VPC image
(3) boot from the floppy image on your imac.
Note the DEC/Intel 21041 network card emulated by Mac VPC 4/5/6
won't work. I'm working on a driver.
