Fake system file.  Start with miBoot.  That should be a big step in the
right direction, since it's a MacOS ROM-loaded system file that starts a
ppc linux kernel.  I'm sure there are some resource IDs that would be
different on 68k, but hopefully, it should be close.

What exactly does MacOS init that isn't already initted at the end of the
ROM power-on routines?
