? I see that IA32ABI.bundle is in the mac 4.2.1beta1U VM's resource  
folder.
If you alter the info.plist and flip SqueakDebug to 1  from zero
it will print lots of stuff related to loading of bundles to the  
Console Log which might help tell us why
it doesn't work for you.

Still jet-lagged at ESUG, and busy with my Wed 17:00 speech, otherwise  
I'd look..

Also anyone else try this, does fail for every mac user?
