And, it is interesting if the CD can boot on Intel Mac also.
I mean, if you put the CD to Intel Mac, it boots x86 *Mac* (=EFI) loader up,
and then runs x86 *Mac* binary, which I think it must be same as x86 IBM-PC
binary.

Hello.
With my understanding of El Torito ( CD boot ) specification,
I guess that "dual boot" CD for both Mac(PowerPC) and IBM-PC seems to be
possible.
I mean, a CD which acts like this ---.
- When you put a CD to Mac, boots PowerPC boot loader up, and then runs on
PowerPC.
- When you put a CD to IBM-PC, boots x86 boot loader up, and....
I am not sure that here is right place to ask this question,
but anyway, do somebody know
--- info about this kind of dual boot CD
--- or place (ML or BBS or.. ) to ask this question.
