Right; but you'd have a hard time telling the Macintosh ROMs to seriously
look at your FFS floppy...  it does not help you here.

Some time ago, someone pointed out that the ROMs want a HFS partition out
there.  So you have to have a MacOS style partitioning on your boot disk,
at least.

Comes to mind: Why waiting till Macsbug is loaded and executed? I'd think
the hard disk driver is loaded and executed much earlier. As I see it, the
big road block is still setting up the hardware ourselves the way the ROM
code does it. Way to go...
