Some questions about the ROM disk:

1. Is there any way that you can get it to execute just a single init
(well where would you put it?) like INITshare to pull over inits

2. Does anybody have a use for it in this mode?

3. Why do they put in macsbug as one of the files?

4. Are there any other short-cuts (that may make it useable) that Apple
haven't yet documented.

and finaly

Don't you need a minimum of 3 fonts for a system (Chicago 12, Geneva 9 and 12)?
or do they just put in Chicago 12?

Hmmm, the question is WHY? Whats it for?
