One suggestion from an empirical problem-solver: try it from your Mac after 
starting up from an appropriately configured System Folder on a floppy.  If 
it works, take the floppy to his Mac, start up from it, and try to do exactly 
the same thing.  If that fails, your problem's gotta be hardware, either the 
Mac itself (are you using a IIci?  could it be a problem with the IIci as a 
class?), or the ethertalk connection.  God or an army of gurus help you if 
that's the case...

Fortune!
