My primary intention is to simplify and unify the bootloader configuration
for debian-installer across all architectures and there
Hi!
Sorry for my stupid comment, but I wanted to know why you don't consider
using a simple CHRP boot script as a wrapper?
According to this FreeBSD document, a CHRP script must be used for the
"c" key to work and let OF find the optical drive (such as CD-ROM) to be
bootable in the first place.

Looking at grub-mkrescue [1], I assume the options we need are:

Hi,
i notice that i sent this to the wrong thread of debian-powerpc

No. Only HFS+, contributed by Vladimir Serbinenko for x86 Macs and
used in grub-mkrescue ISOs for x86 EFI.
The xorrisofs options used by grub-mkrescue for HFS+ are:
-hfsplus
-apm-block-size 2
