the HFS-specific options so I had to drop them from the command

Where can I find this code, BTW?
It's from debian-cd:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-cd/debian-cd.git/
Grep for "hfs".
Adrian's ISO doesn't mount under System 7 either. It contains no Mac
bootloader. End users would need to obtain a bootloader, a suitable kernel
binary and matching initrd from somewhere. (The sourceforge v4.1 binary is
probably sufficient, but if you need the mac8390 or mac89x0 NIC driver,
you'd have to untar and insmod that.)
Well, as I said, this is the very first image I created. We had to fix
a large number of packages like debian-installer, linux, parted, emile
and so on to finally get there. I am not surprised the first ISO is
not working as it should.
That tar archive has the crucial initrd and kernel binary, but the Mac
tools have gone missing (Amiga and Atari tools are present though). It
would be good to get the hqx files included again. Should I send a patch,
or is that code still in the repo?
Looks like it's missing. I think it's included in the d-i build from
individual packages. Was it part of m68kboot? [1]
