Hum, the explanation looks stange. This boot mecanism is the "old" 68k
based mecanism, I don't really see how this could boot quik ppc code. I
beleive that using MacOS X System Disk just setup OF to boot quik, but I
don't think this is in any way related to those 68k stuffs.
I don't know if this boot-block mecanism is still supported, but it would
be interesting to try to put pieces of BootX there.
