I recall at last year's OOPSLA Ian was showing off a squeak image that  
he was
booting via open firmware.  Basically he was using open firmware on an  
apple
powerbook to load a VM and an image instead of a commerical/opensource  
Operating system.

I believe by use of some of the open firmware drives  
(disk/network/video) he was able to manage
quite a bit without having to write drivers etc.

If someone really really needs this they should ask Ian for a copy I'd  
guess.

Looked like a good way to do kioks software and not worry about OS  
issues.
