I tested only with NeXTStep 3.3 booting from hard disk and it worked.

I'll test the rest today but considering the PS/2 mouse emulation is  
not working (there is a bug in it that prevents NeXTStep PS/2 mouse  
driver and old X11 PS/2 mouse drivers working).

But for now, it boots up to the GUI flawlessly.
