You need to use the BootX package provided. looked at making it OldWorld bootable like LinuxPPC 2000, but I found some issues: 1) The technique used conflicts with newer machines that need ofboot.b (slot-loading iMacs and above). 2) There could be legal issues with shipping a MacOS Sustem Folder and Finder. So methinks BootX it will be for now.
