Surely there was something more to the message? Something like "No room
to make 1MB bootstrap". Are you starting with Apple_Free space on the
drive? The installer does not have the capability of resizing MacOS
partitions. More recent updates are a little more forgiving and let you
past this initial bootstrap error with a warning that you will need to
create one. Also I now check for "OldWorld" machines and forgoe the
bootstrap setup in that case. I did not have access to an OldWorld
machine for testing when the Beta1 ISO's were released. (nor do I now -
but you folks on the list helped out there ;^))
