An update: I have been able to create a bootable standalone backup kit burned to a CD, and booted the MV2000 from it.

I used a SIMH emulator run under OS X 10.6.8 to create a 650MB disk volume, with the container file using the extension ."iso", mounting the volume cluster wide such that the MV2000 could write to it.  I pointed STABACK.COM to that volume, and once complete, dismounted the volume and shutdown the SIMH emulator, to make sure the container file was closed.

I then burned a CD using the container file as the source for the OS X Disk Utility, and then booted the MV2000 from it.
