The drivers you use either with a pre-made image or yourself can make all the difference between having a bootable machine or one that crashes at startup.

Apple

Apple drivers are very compatible but early versions of the Apple SC HD Setup require a patch and do a "low level" format that can take hours on a large drive.

Using Drive Setup on OS 7.1+ is recommended for 030 machines and above.

LIDO

A very common, useful 3rd party formatting utility compatible with most Macintoshes.

LIDO is not recommended as it affects performance, and is incompatible with the Macintosh Plus.

It is recommended to use the Apple Drivers.

Lacie

Does work but does not seem to change any performance or compatibility over LIDO.

FWB Toolkit

Currently incompatible.
