*Currently* no....In theory we could do it. However, you can never
escape having at least one HFS partition on a MacOS-style partition mapped
drive since the ROMs are constructed to look for such partitions. However,
you could have a system that floppy booted and the rest of your drives could
be UNIX partitioned.

I've investigated the possibility of writing such a booter but I'm busy
with other projects at the moment :-)
