Take anything I say with a grain of salt, but...
AFA I understand, if the disk is an HFS or hybrid HFS/ISO,
OpenFirmware scans it for a "blessed" folder, and looks for a file
with a resource type "tbxi", which it then runs. This is usually
(always?) a bootinfo script that specifies further actions. I do not
know if it is possible to boot off straight ISO9660 disks from
OpenFirmware - maybe it just looks for a file called bootinfo or
bootscript?
Mkisofs can be used to master hybrid HFS/ISO disks that can boot on
Pmacs. On OS X, one would use the native "hdimage" and "bless"
utilities.

I mean, if you put the CD to Intel Mac, it boots x86 *Mac* (=EFI)
loader up,
and then runs x86 *Mac* binary, which I think it must be same as
x86 IBM-PC
binary.

Hello.
With my understanding of El Torito ( CD boot ) specification,
I guess that "dual boot" CD for both Mac(PowerPC) and IBM-PC seems
to be possible.
I mean, a CD which acts like this ---.
- When you put a CD to Mac, boots PowerPC boot loader up, and
then runs on PowerPC.
- When you put a CD to IBM-PC, boots x86 boot loader up, and....
I am not sure that here is right place to ask this question,
but anyway, do somebody know
--- info about this kind of dual boot CD
--- or place (ML or BBS or.. ) to ask this question.
TIA, Okajima, Jun. Tokyo, Japan.
