:)One thing that hit me is that this image may be useful if OFW 3 supports the
:)Apple CD Extensions, since this doesn't really have a HFS partition.  This
:)should work on OFW 1 under the assumption of "no HFS", but it needs to be
:)tested on both to see if it works.

My experience (using Toast to create an ISO image with apple extensions,
but no HFS) was that it does not work with Open Firmware 3.  It really does
need an HFS partition and an Apple Partition Map (Toast has an option to
create an HFS partition, but no APM).
