MacOnLinux using a file instead of a partition

Instead of creating a special HFS partition, one can run MacOnLinux using a file as metioned on the linuxppc-list [1].

e.g. a 500MB image for MacOS:

debian:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/macos.img bs=1048576 count=500
500+0 records in
500+0 records out
524288000 bytes transferred in 60.964236 seconds (8599927 bytes/sec)
