The ones I listed are *definitely* all PReP.

Actually, I think mkisofs supports both a PReP and Mac boot loader on the same CD. It doesn't support PReP and CHRP on the same CD, but I have a patch to make it do so lying around somewhere. So, I think it's possible to have a single CD that can boot PReP, CHRP and Mac, but I'm not 100% sure. Cheers, Leigh.
