Jack et al:
Macs require a PROM to boot from, but they don't require that you have the
mac OS installed.
If you are using a "oldworld" mac, you can use either bootx or yaboot (a
lilo clone for macs) which will boot right from startup. New world macs use
yaboot only now. I ran my mac 7500 as a Linux only box for quite some time,
just went back to dual boot to try out iTunes... ( I have to admit it is
pretty cool)
