If it is, great. My macppc experience has been that there would be a
file which OF either defaults to or one which you point to via the
boot-file variable to load rather than it reading a segment of the disk
at a special offset as on x86, hence why I thought that might be for the
MBR layout.

Do you have it working as such on your macppc hardware?
