When I try to open the iMacSMCUpdate.pkg, I get a messege in the installer here:

The iMac has 2 firmware updates. One is the SMC firmware. The other is the one needed by bootcamp (actually provides an update to allow the iMac to boot to the Windows XP SP2 installer disk) - and is at this link. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacearly2006firmwareupdate101.html

(I think I've read four or five threads about this very same issue. Is there a _clear_ solution to the problem? Were all the problems solved the same way, i.e. is there a clear rule on which updates to apply in which sequence? If so, we should do a HOWTO on this so we can link to that if another such thread pops up...)

Download the firmware updater from this link (as posted above) - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacearly2006firmwareupdate101.html
Install that, and you should be ready to use Bootcamp.
