 Hi all,

 Something  wanted to add to a previous mail in the thread:

 Don't forget that there are lots of Macs that _absolutely_ need at least
 one HFS partition and an Aple partition map on one of there disks,
 because that's the only thing the ROM can boot some OS from.

 AFAICT, all pre-NewWorld machines are in this case, except maybe some
 that can be tweaked to network boot...

oldworld macs this is true i think.

Not completely true.  They do have to have a Mac partition table but
I'm pretty sure you can get away without any HFS partitions if you
use quik to boot.  Granted, that's a pain, but it can be done.
