The imac will boot kernels off of cd roms and off of the hard drive.  The
problem is getting other OF settings.  It will always find the kernel.
Just drop the kernel in the root of the hard drive under mac os and tell
it that the boot device is hd:kernelname to boot from the hard drive or
cd:kernelname for a cd rom.
