Check out:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/OSUtilities/OSUtilities-188.html#HEADING188-0

which is a URL pointing to the Start Manager info on Apple's web sites.

Note that it speaks directly about boot blocks. I think that's a better
place to stick our loader. Also, at the boot block point, ALL disk drivers
have been loaded, so that you can make SCSI manager calls to get at parts
of the disk. :-)

Take care,
