sparc uses SILO. It allows to boot multiple kernels.
It needs some files to be put on the CD (silo.conf, cd.b, ...).
It doesn't need mkhybrid at all, just mkisofs. You need to run SILO after the
image is built to register absolute address of the kernels you want to boot
off and put the boot record in the beginning of the image.
I didn't check exactly how it works. I will get your scripts then try to
build and write such image as soon as possible.
