Methinks you accidentally provided the wrong URL. There is no mention of
any NuBus Macs anywhere on that page that I could see. It seems to
exclusively be a tutorial on the use of BootX on OldWorld Macs, peppered
with half-truths and misinformation. Hardware support for OldWorld Macs is
quite mature when compared to the NuBus-based machines.

The rest of the drive will be ext3, not HFS.
