I independently reproduced this and succeeded in making a i386/powerpc CD.
It works well as-is on i386, but my iMac fails to see it when powering up
and holding C. I'm guessing that some mkisofs options are conflicting with
each other, but I cannot figure out which ones. Could anyone enlighten me
as to exactly which mkisofs options were used to make the LinuxTag DVD?
It turns out that the mkisofs options used by the Linux Tag team are
available at http://www.soziologie.ch/~steinlin/d-i/netinst-ppc-i386/ (ISO
and script).
This being said, runing that script on my own input dir still gives me a CD
that only boots on amd64 and i386; booting it on a Power Mac by holding C
fails, so does booting the image on an emulator (PearPC or QEMU). It looks as
if blessing the Mac system directory (in this case, the install/ directory
where yaboot and the Open Firmware bootscript reside) fails.
Any ideas on how to proceed about finding out what exactly fails?
It appears that something about the order of boot files conflicts; if I enable
only the HFS options, I get a great PowerPC CD, but if I enable the El Torito
options, it produces a CD that cannot boot on PPC (it DOES boot on amd64+i386).
There must be a way to sort those boot files using mkisofs options, but how?
