I've already tried to find out what the ROM is, but all I've been able to find out is that it's an unknown ROM.

Cygwin\Linux gives the following on the Old World ROM file that supports Mac OSes under 8.5:

$ strings rom | grep "Boot "
Boot Beep Resourcekckckcx
Boot TNT 0.1p

(Alchemey-based architecture PowerMacs also supported by SheepShaver)

Here's a screenshot I made this morning of OS 7.6.1 on SheepShaver for Windows I built using Cygwin last night with the latest CVS source.
