Re: making 13.1 ppc32 image bootable on PowerMac

Hi Peter,

The command we use to build image looks like:
/usr/bin/genisoimage -r -pad -f -J -joliet-long -p "KIWI -
http://opensuse.github.com/kiwi" -publisher "SUSE LINUX GmbH" -A
"openSUSE-13.1-ppc-NET-ppc-Build0031-Media" -V
"openSUSE-13.1-ppc-NET-ppc0031" -chrp-boot -hfs-bless
/usr/src/packages/KIWIROOT/main/openSUSE-13.1-ppc-NET-ppc-Build0031-Media/suseboot
-hfs-volid 'openSUSE 13.1 1' -l --macbin -map
/usr/share/kiwi/modules/KIWIIsoLinux-AppleFileMapping.txt --netatalk
-part -T -U -o /usr/src/packages/KIWIROOT/main/openSUSE-13.1-ppc-NET-ppc-Build0031-Media.iso
/tmp/kiso-loader-5iyBDW
/usr/src/packages/KIWIROOT/main/openSUSE-13.1-ppc-NET-ppc-Build0031-Media

And here is Mapping file:
https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi/blob/master/metadata/KIWIIsoLinux-AppleFileMapping.map

Thanks, I'll compare our setup with your working solution.

Have fun,
Dinar
