Yes. From macppc install.md: md_installboot() { local _disk=$1 # If there is an MSDOS partition on the boot disk, copy ofwboot # into it. if fdisk $_disk | grep -q 'Signature: 0xAA55'; then if fdisk $_disk | grep -q '^..: 06 '; then if mount /dev/${_disk}i /mnt2 >/dev/null 2>&1; then # Use cat to avoid holes created by cp(1) cat /mnt/usr/mdec/ofwboot > /mnt2/ofwboot umount /mnt2 fi fi fi } ....
