Monogon: A Linux userland in pure Go
It looks similar to u-root https://github.com/u-root/u-root, yes, used as part of host firmware. There's a description of u-root in chapter 6 of https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4842-7939-7, too.

Is it possible to install a linux specific package on osx?
