not necessarily... on OldWorld machines booting MacOS, your boot-device is
/AAPL,ROM and all OF does is set the machine up and transfer control to
the ROM... that's who has the smarts to read HFS and find a system folder
on your CD/HD/whatever... and the ROM _is_ MacOS, so by the time this has
happened we've missed the boat...
now if we could replace the ROM in an OldWorld machine with ofwboot then
everything would be sweet... :)
