In an attempt to know more about it, I read most of the manpage for 
mkhybrid.  While I now know a little bit more about HSF, I didn't 
really find the info I was looking for.  There was some info on making
a bootable mac CD, but said there had to be a CD driver loaded first.
This didn't really seem like what I was looking for, so I checked the
install notes for mac and ppc.  Turns out there's not really any magic
to it at all.  On the ppc, you use an Open Firmware prompt to boot the
disc (specifying the location of the ram disc), and the disc is never 
booted on a mac; there's a special utility to extract the files in 
MacOS.  I must have misinterpreted something I had read :(

Still, $30 for 2 CDs that can securely install a Unix-like OS with
integrated cryptography on 9 different architectures, and includes
all the sources is a pretty good deal, even if it's not as /magical/
as I once thought :)
