"Apple_HFS" is the partition type of the first payload partition entry in the Apple Partition Map. Written by genisoimage at byte offset 1072 of the ISO image. The field has a size of 32 bytes. So you could overwrite it by other texts in order to check whether they cause less complaints. My knowledge about APM stems from http://opensource.apple.com/source/IOStorageFamily/IOStorageFamily-116/IOApplePartitionScheme.h (typedef struct Block0) http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=376123&seqNum=3 and is summarized in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~libburnia-team/libisofs/scdbackup/view/head:/doc/boot_sectors.txt in chapter "Apple Partition Map" (Any further knowledge about HFS w/o "+" is welcome. I am still interested in exploring the HFS aspects of Debian powerpc images.
