yaboot should be able to remain unchanged.

'-iso-level 2' should be just fine for the powerpc CDs. Remember, this
only affects the raw ISO9660 names which bootloaders, MS-DOS, and the
like look at; once Linux is running, we're using Joliet / Rock Ridge
extensions anyway, so the ISO9660 names don't matter.
MS-DOS can't handle '-iso-level 2' as far as I know, but, while that
might be a very slight concern for i386 CDs, it really shouldn't matter
for powerpc CDs.
