Maybe it handles removable media differently than fixed media? After all, if
it needed space to unpack files, bootable CD's would be impossible as they
exist on the Mac now - no HD necessary on the computer.

I thought I'd done a 100 meg boot partition before, but I'm probably
misremembering. If I have time I'll try it, write down exactly what I do
(which will be the same as for a boot zip disk) and if it works and wants to
know, I'll post it here for a minimal boot disk.
