Since the New World machines have a flashable ROM, why doesn't Apple
just write a new flash ROM for MacOS X by writing a flash with
bootloader on it that stores its information in the MBR or PRAM
(multiple PRAM settings) or somewhere so they don't have to use the
secret partition trick to get MacOS X to boot correctly. In the process,
they might as well add an allowance so you can boot Linux or another
alternative OS in the extra slots (multiple kernels, etc). And the
ability to pick which OS you prefer to boot.

It's quite possible that this is being worked on, because I can't
imagine that Apple wants to do that thing with an HFS partition if they
don't have to.  They're not just lazy bums out there, ya know. ;-)  If
they are working on that, it's probably just undisclosed.
