I am making a CD image (linuxPPC) so that I can try to put linuxPPC on a
rs6000.  however, I have a few problems with mkisofs..

first I tried

mkisofs -a -b image/boot.img -c boot.catalog -o /mnt/temp/linuxPPC.img -r
-v  /home/torus/mnt

I run into first problem with -b image/boot.img
mkisofs is complaining about boot.img is not the correct boot image size.
the size are different than a PC boot image because the image are created
for a Mac, or a rs6000. is there a way around this?

after the above failed. I decided just to make a non-bootable image, so
mkisofs -a -c boot.catalog -o /mnt/temp/linuxPPC.img -r -v /home/torus/mnt

this goes ok for a few second, then mkisofs Segmentation fault, without
dumping a core. I tried several version of mkisofs
1.10
1.11.1
1.11.3
1.12b comes with cdrecord. 

and all produce same error.

/home/torus/mnt is a NFS mounted file system. not sure if this makes any
difference. I don't think it's a problem myself..but I cna be wrong..

any suggestions?
