Hi Daniel,

A rough guess is that the OFW emulation thinks that the filesystem is
HFS. Apple ISO images use a 'hybrid HFS/ISO9660' format:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/fl/fl_36.html
See the 'makehybrid' option at
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/hdiutil.1.html
... and the "-hfs" option to mkisofs:
http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/man/cdrecord/mkisofs.8.html
FreeBSD/ppc CD's are built in src/release/powerpc/mkisoimages.sh with
the following options:
mkisofs $bootable -r -hfs -part -no-desktop -hfs-volid $LABEL -l -J -L
-o $NAME $*
You may want to look at Debian and see if there are any differences
there. Hmmm, maybe we should be using the "-apple" option. Another
unpleasant job would be to dig into QEMU's OFW emulation code
(http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/OpenHackWare/index.htm) and try and work
out what is going on.
later,
Peter.
