On the Open Firmware implementations on the PPC machines I worked with
you can load an ELF file directly. Open Firmware has support for
reading from block devices, parsing partition maps and it has support
for some filesystems.
So at least of the New World Mac, the Pegasos, etc. this is not
required. Perhaps we need such bootblock for the old world mac...
