Nick Holgate added the logic to make the VME machines boot, using
Intel-style El Torito. That's part of what boot-m68k does. It also
sets up the mkisofs options for CD1 so that Macs should be able to
read the CD OK, and similar tweaks for each machine type.
The other m68k machine types still need you to boot into the host OS
and then run the installer off the CD.
What was the original question again?
