If you check the archives of the Mac-On-Linux (MOL) e-mail list, you will
see that this is already planned, although development on this appears
to have stalled.  IIRC some adventurous people were able to successfully
boot MOM (MacOS 9 on MacOS X) but I don't believe anyone has yet succeeded
in booting LOM (Linux on MacOS X).

The Mac-On-Linux homepage is at:

	Mac-on-Linux 0.9.70 is out!

As you can see, that was a while ago now, but hopefully it will all
get ironed out eventually.
