What usually happens is that the _Minimal_ II/IIx installation assumes just
that - a mimimum system, probably B&W. I haven't looked into it any deeper
than that, as far as tearing apart the Installer scripts. All I know is the
solution to this problem is to use the Installer on the System Tools disk
with the "normal" installer scripts, not the "Minimum" scripts.
I had the same problem with System 6.0. If I used the Installer and the
"Minimum II" script, I got a black apple. If I used the regular Installer
script for the II on the System Tools disk - no problem.
