Hi Dave,

> I wonder if it would boot from an iPod :)

  It would, but you'd have to re-partition your iPod drive which
I think will blow away the iPod firmware and turn it into a
brick :-(

  Now, if I can get the HFS+ loader module completed, and with
the existing HFS+ kernel module, it might be possible to put
something together.

  An interesting possibility might be an 'overlay' install on
top of OSX where you wouldn't need to re-partition the hard drive.

later,

Peter.
