I suspect either the transfer is not completing, or something is not being written correctly, since every image I have attempted to create from the VPC image has been roughly 3GB in size, while the data that is claimed to transfer (specified drive size) is 15GB. Once complete, the machine attempts to boot in Parallels, but provides an error saying that there was a hardware error, and that the machine needs to reboot, but simply runs an endelss cycle, asking if I'd like to boot in Safe Mode (which provides the same error) or boot normally, continuing in an endless loop. Any insights? The method is ingenious, I would just really like to figure out why I'm so close to working, without actual success.

It might be worth mentioning in your article that the PPC/old Mac needs to be connected via Ethernet for the FTP to work. The Intel Mac is fine on Airport/WLAN though.
