I suppose yes, since for booting MacOS, OF doesn't boot from a disk partition, but rather boots the MacOS ROM. The ROM in turn then looks for a valid boot partition & System Folder, using information out of the NVRAM (probably what Startup Disk wrote there). > If this setup could work, people could install MacOS just for when the > NVRAM is wiped. Keep in mind that booting MacOS on OldWorlds will wipe the NVRAM anyway. Makes you wish to remove MacOS completely, but then you'd better have some alternative way of booting the box (like CDROM...)
