as far as i know, writing to the ext3 root partition from OFW is
officially unsupported.  the boot partition is ext2 precisely
because ext3 can't be written reliably from OFW.

if you can put the file in the boot partition, then there are copy
commands that let you creat files on "int:", i believe.  i don't
have them at my fingertips.
