I did have one idea: if you can boot a coff image from an hfspartition, couldn't you have an hfs /boot partition on the harddrive and boot directly from open firmware? If I understand this correctly, quikwouldn't be needed.I think you can only netboot those, since the disk drivers are not availablein OF or something, not sure though.
Please see my (very) recent posting to the debian-boot list with subject '"free" miboot on OldWorld Mac'
What I say in that posting applies only to OldWorld Macs. On NewWorld Macs, Apple requires all add-in cards that want to support booting to do so by having a hunk of ROM on the card that extends the Apple Open Firmware with commands for booting from that card.
