No, Michel, miBoot is loaded by the MacOS ROM, so changing boot-device
won't help, you have to tweak the MacOS boot-device info which is a
different thing (and pretty screwed). The best way to resolve that would
be to add an option in miBoot itself to do that. I'll see what I can do
as soon as I manage to put back my hand on an oldworld box.
