Bug#686218: cdimage.debian.org: booting powerpc netinst installer from USB-stick complains about type (Apple_HFS) of bootstrap partition (wants Apple_bootstrap)

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas@pobox.com>]

Severity: wishlist

When booting the Debian netinst powerpc installer from a USB flash disk you may see a mesage
    WARNING: Bootstrap partition type is wrong: "Apple_HFS"
              type should be: "Apple_Bootstrap" 

This does not occur when booting the same iso from a physical CD-ROM.

Ignoring the warning does not seem to cause any problems.

Any idea what makes it do that?  Can if be fixed?  Should it be documented if it can't be fixed?

Thanks!
