Patchburn, what does it do? do i need it?

I have an NEC dual layer burner that I purchased to use externally on my powerbook. I am now interested in putting it in my sawtooth 400mhx powermac but a friend told me I will need to run some type of patchburn software or something? His reasoning was that I wont be able to boot off the disc drive if I ever have any problems and need to reinstall with ym tiger disc or anything like that. Is this true? Basically what I would like to know is what I must do to get the drive to be fully functional on my sawtooth. thanks

You can find patchburn here:

I had to use Patchburn to make the iApps work but with iLife version 6, my third party drives works without patchburn. Patchburn creates a profile for the drive that the OS can interact with.
Regards,
