Not all versions of OpenFirmware can read ELF or hfs/hfs+ at all.The NetBSD install docs sum it up pretty well. Though that anchor doesn't mention that OF 1.x, 2.0x and 2.1x cannot boot ELF.
I assume by "not direct" you mean not booting mac OS first, and then using BootX. Only machines without OpenFirmware or that have really broken ROMs would need to do that.
OpenFirmware is a bit more than just a boot loader, lets give Apple and SUN a little more credit.
Um, maybe you haven't seen that Microsoft has been making IE and Outlook Express for Mac since version 3 of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express 4.5. IE is also included in MacOS X installs.
However, the forward RCS rockets, RCS fuel tanks, GPCs, and avionics bays are located in the nose. That makes the nose the heaviest portion of that part of the orbiter, ensuring a nose down descent. If the thermal insulation was changed to let the crew compartment survive heating, and if the RCS rockets were powerful enough, and had enough fuel to retro fire the module to a sane speed where parachutes were usable, It might be possible. Though none of the shuttles systems were designed with something like that in mind.
There's no need to sink money into manned mars missions when we haven't been back to the moon. Money would be better spent using the Buran and Energia to set up a lunar habitat. The official site has more of the nitty gritty buran.ru
Its a shame that the Buran and the Space Shuttle were developed in competition rather than cooperating on a space system that would be better than each individual system. If NASA used a lift system like Energia or the Energia itself, we would probably still have Challenger and Columbia which could be fitted to say, land on the moon or mars and then launch like a plane using internal fuel tanks and the SSMEs to return to earth.
With the cancelling of Venture Star and pipe dreams like the Space Plane, there aren't that many options left, and money isn't in great supply.
So back to the topic at hand, I read the restoration plan for the Saturn V at USS&RC. Nowhere does it mention any type of protection, just restoration. So in another five years it's going to cost another 5 mil to restore? Screw that, come up with a plan that doesn't require continued large spending.
I can still think of a few things that would make a good file system great.
Access control lists, and permission inheritance to equal or better NTFS. Why? So that hosting of SMB/CIFS network shares could maintain full permissions and inheritance.
Implementing fully or partly the BSD LFS file system. Some general information can be found here or source from the NetBSD source tree.

Which brings the question are they testing bleeding edge unstable, or testing releases.
Then, if it's releases, are 2.5 and 2.7 kernels going to be tested; or are 2.4 and 2.6 going to be tested.

Well, in this case, because it would be wrong.
Do the "civilian" hummers and the H2 fall into that catagory?
The field guide has a picture and info about it.

Then the companies would lose control. Apple with HFS or Microsoft with NTFS.
