Peter,

    I downloaded ppc-root-latest.tbz2 and created the default tree which I
burned to CD.

    However, the first problem comes with
mkisofs -o -hfs -part -l -J -r -L
this is not a Darwin command.  There is no man entry for mkisofs.

    Booting into Open Firmware, I get
0 > ok
0 > dir cd:,\
     Size/       GMT                    File/Dir

sorta boots back into OS X with a forbidden icon on the screen.


    What am I doing wrong?
