Hi,

Actually, what bless does is:
1) write some EFI variables to NVRAM
2) (in some cases) write some variable in the HFS+ Volume Header

Although (2) should be no problem, I think that (1) would depend on some
kernel interface that might not be implemented the same way in Linux and
OSX ... (in Linux, it seems to be in drivers/firmware/efivars.c)
