Permission for Debian and its mirror network to distribute the boot sector.  
That's all that would be needed for non-free.

Regarding clearn-room reverse-engineering "step one", if it's in the form of 
assembly language for a known architecture, I'd be willing to make the 
plain-English description (though someone who's already 'contaminated' by 
looking at it should ideally do it).

However, looking at pure machine code is a *lot* less fun than looking at 
assembly language.  :-(  Can someone perhaps disassemble it, as a first step?  
(Incidentally, if it's purely m68k machine code, does that mean that the m68k 
emulator in the PowerMacs was in hardware?)
