To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a boot block on a Macintosh floppy diskette. The Mac's firmware is aware of the HFS file system and looks for a special flag on that file system, which says the folder is "blessed" (i.e. it contains the system folder).

Humm. I'm very hazy here but I think there are boot blocks on an 800k floopy under Sys 6. 1.4mb size under Sys 7.x I don't know.
