I forgot to mention that the kernel args can be changed by editing the
CMDL resource in the System file with resedit. Don't forget the trailing
0, it's a C string !

You don't.  You can hack them with a hex editor if you prefer.  Are

What's the point of a boot application that works without MacOS when
yu need MacOS to modify the kernel args?
