Interestingly enough, I noticed this tidbit in their BootX script:
-------------------------------------------
if 0 0 then
-------------------------------------------
Implying that they may be doing something with ext2 support.
You "tidbit" was empty ;)
They have indeed ext2 support in their "BootX". They have ELF support.
They have almost everything needed to boot the Linux kernel as well. I
need to implement the necessary support in the kernel itself to get it
working.
The only major problem I've got is that whenever I boot plain old
MacOS by itself, it ruthlessly deblesses the MacOS X partition,
rendering it unable to boot. I have to use System Disk if I want to
boot into MacOS X again, and since it blows away my boot-device
setting I have to force the machine into OF to set it again if I want
to use the ofboot boot menu. Annoying, but not a new problem.
