Thanks!

Can you explain what this particular change does or why it's done?

I'm cleaning up the release-building code, and am switching them from mkisofs 
to makefs, which provides the same functionality. This started with some 
irritation with the cdrtools port and a bug in the HFS hybrid generation that 
was breaking PPC release CD generation. Switching these to depend on makefs in 
general speeds the release-building process and removes the number of 
dependencies involved, since makefs is built as part of base.
Actually, I was just interested in the 'bootimage=i386' part
of your change. I totally get why you're doing it :-)

Ah, OK :)

That just sets the El Torito system type to 0 (x86), which is what IA64 uses, as far as I can tell, and doesn't turn on any special magic like is done for the mac. I suppose while we're monkeying about with makefs, we could add an 'ia64' alias.
