I just set up a separate partition on my regular hard disk to enable
direct boot using miBoot.

I did the following steps:

Resize (i.e. shrink) existing MacOS HFS partition with "parted".

Create a new partition in resulting space using "mac-fdisk".

Establish a new HFS file system using "hformat" (it is part of
hfsutils).

Copy contents of latest miBoot ISO to new space (unfortunately I had to
switch to MacOS to correctly copy the files. Is there another way to do
this on Linux? hcopy didn't worked as expected. Perhaps I should have
used -m)

Modified yaboot.conf (partition was mounted on Linux, yaboot.conf was
reformatted to regular linux ascii files. still works) to match my local
root partition and added an entry for latest 2.4.30-pre1 miboot.image.

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

  Florian
