Ok. Any problem with leaving something filesystem specific in there?

Will do.

Ok.

>From the spec:
"finderInfo[0] contains the directory ID of the directory containing the
bootable system (for example, the System Folder in Mac OS 8 or 9, or
/System/Library/CoreServices in Mac OS X). It is zero if there is no
bootable system on the volume. This value is typically equal to either
finderInfo[3] or finderInfo[5]."
finderInfo[3] is the OS8/9 system folder, finderInfo[5] is the OS X one.
I'd guess it's just to indicate whether the boot media should default to
OS8/9 or OS X, but it's not entirely clear.

There's a git repo at git://cavan.codon.org.uk/mactel-boot
