they don't depend on it, at least not on newworld, my internel ATA disk has no macos driver whatsoever and it works fine with GNU/Linux, i even boot directly from OF into yaboot which is on a bootstrap partition on that disk. works great, and ensures that MacOS won't ever `helpfully' offer to erase anything ;-)
