Hehehe, yha, but can you do it on a PPC using soft partitions (disk images of
.iso or .dmg files?)  ie. boot to a disk image on my G4....

A while back I had a modified loader (from some one) that read .iso files as
active CDROMS and loaded them as if they came from the CDROM.  Unfortunatly
I can not find my i386 version and even if I did I would still need a PPC
version (Sigh)
