OK, 

after playing with the new mkisofs more i figured out i was calling it
wrong the first time.  it can indeed make NewWorld PowerMac bootable
CDs.

the problem is in order for it to do so i must use command line
switches not compatible with mkhybrid.  this means either powerpc
images are made only with mkhybrid, or only with mkisofs (from woody,
potato's won't work).  

So what is the way to handle this?  cat i tell from
tools/boot/potato/boot-powerpc whether mkhybrid or mkisofs is being
used?  (sorry i still haven't managed to make complete sense of the
way this all fits together).

also are potato CD images (for new revisions) built on potato or
woody?
