Looking at grub-mkrescue [1], I assume the options we need are:

      if (system_area == SYS_AREA_COMMON)
	{
	  xorriso_push ("-hfsplus-file-creator-type");
	  xorriso_push ("chrp");
	  xorriso_push ("tbxi");
	  xorriso_push ("/System/Library/CoreServices/BootX");
	  xorriso_push ("-hfs-bless-by");
	  xorriso_push ("p");
	  xorriso_push ("/System/Library/CoreServices");
	}
      xorriso_push ("-sysid");
      xorriso_push ("PPC");

The question is whether we can create an image that boots both on IBM CHRP machines
and PowerMacs.

Thomas, can you comment on the options for xorrisofs?
