I can't answer your question directly, but I have a 450mhz
cube, and recently we found that it would not boot from our
diskwarrior cd. Diskwarrior had a patch (to work with a RAM disk)
and sent us an upgrade (which we wanted anyway) but for some reason,
that particular CD (and another system disk I have) won't work on
the Cube and only the Cube.
Without the disk upgrade the Diskwarrior solution is to
create a RAM-disk and then boot from that in a process I forget right
now but check out their site.
