"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.

Have a nice day :)
