yes there is something there, but not much:

0000000 4552 0200 0000 1e44 0001 0001 0000 0000
0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

that is the first 512 bytes of the image made by mkhybrid that i have
been testing.

here is the next 512:

0000000 504d 0000 0000 0002 0000 0001 0000 0002
0000020 4170 706c 6500 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

this is documented in /usr/share/doc/mac-fdisk/README.gz it says you
can have both a PC partition table and a mac partition table but the
disk will not be intel bootable. (probably becuse of those couple
bytes in use where a bootstrap would go)
