IPF was written by one person (or so Darren claims), and it's pretty good. Just imagine what 10 developers who know IPF inside out, i.e., they know what problems to avoid in the beginning, can do. Now imagine that these are the same developers behind OpenSSH! > Can't an El Torito CD boot on anything that will boot a PC?

I can't really say for sure, as I don't have an apple machine here, but I think there's a difference in the boot blocks. At least the sources for mkisofs/mkhybrid seem to suggest that. I think the second part of what you wrote is the tricky part. How does the machine know which kernel to boot? Now, if there are different boot blocks, and the irrelevant-for- the-arch-that-is-being-booted-block is simply ignored, then it's booting different things, and doesn't need to figure out what kernel to boot, as that can be hardcoded into the boot instructions. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
