Hi, But note as things stand at present Mac OS X does not allow booting from a kext based file system so your users would not be able to have their boot file system be your file system.

Actually, Apple RAID boots out of the kext cache to get the raid support using a "boot root" partition.

See the third paragraph after ""BootX, boot.efi, and System Initialization" here:

He could use this same technique.
