Huh?
1. firmware reads CD-ROM (therefore must have a driver)
2. firmware demands MacOS code
3. firmware executes MacOS code ???
4. firmware loads the OS
Um, OK... as long as step 3 doesn't seriously happen, one could
fake out the firmware with a dummy MacOS driver. I wouldn't
expect Apple to have PGP signed these drivers.
Something like this maybe, in whatever binary format Apple used:
.globl driver_init /* damn firmware wants this */
driver_init:
blr
