Can anybody tell me how I can check what type of installation was chosen,
for a certain OS?
Suppose I have a HD with 7.5.5. that works with my IIci and LC's and I want
to take it out to somebody who has a PowerMac without a HD. I wonder if it
will boot. Any chance of checking that?

There's a little util that will check a file, even
the System file, to see if it has FAT code in it.
If it does then it will boot a Vintage Mac and
some PowerMacs. (Depends on which Mac OS version
which PowerMacs it would boot.)

I've got one called PowerPCheck FAT v3.2. Should be
easy to find.
I knew it was Bob F who mentioned it! Thanks.
Before I left to pick up a dirt-cheap 7300 without HD, hence the question,
the guy told me on the phone that he'd found a OS 8 CD from which the Mac
booted nicely. That was enough
Most early PowerMacs will boot from a 7.5 boot
disk.
7.5 through 8.1 have two boot disks, one for 68k
and one for PPC.
If you have a 601 upgrade in a 68k, the 8.1 PPC
boot disk will work as-is. (Maybe 8.0 too, never
tried it.) 7.6 PPC boot disk requires an enabler
for a 601 upgrade but 7.6
