I also was unable to it working on my Mac II, much to my chagrin. I tried
all the stuff you mentioned above and then some. One thing that I did try
is take a copy of the latest Mac system disk from apple and put a copy
of SFVolinit on it. One time it did work and another time it didn't. I
eventually gave up trying to get it to work on my Mac II.

I would certainly like to hear if anyone has an explanation why I
can't get SFVolInit working on my Mac II.
