Don't forget that this script has to be in a directory ("folder") that 
is "blessed" and the file needs to be marked with the proper 
Type/Creator codes.  All this can be done with the latest version of 
mkisofs though.

I also have a working prototype that implements a mult-system boot 
selector feature.  It supports OS 9, OS X, NetBSD, and YDL as well as 
CDROM and Networking booting.
