SYNOPSIS
apple_driver CDROM_device > HFS_driver_file
DESCRIPTION
Apple_driver extracts the information from an Apple (or compatible) CD-
ROM required for the -hfs-boot-file option to mkhybrid(1).
The CDROM_device is the device name used by the CD-ROM (e.g.
/dev/cdrom).
The format of the HFS driver file is:
l l . HFS CD Label Block 512 bytes Driver Partition Map (for 2048
byte blocks) 512 bytes Driver Partition Map (for 512 byte
blocks) 512 bytes Empty 512 bytes Driver Partition N x 2048
bytes HFS Partition Boot Block 1024 bytes
The Perl script hdisk.pl can be used to give a listing of what's on a
Mac CD. hdisk.pl is part of hfsutils.

PROGRAMMER
James Pearson (j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk) 18/5/98
The driver code (both extracting the driver and creating partitions
etc. is based on code from genisoimage 1.05 PLUS by Andy Polyakov
<appro@fy.chalmers.se> (see http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/genisoim-
age_plus.html)
This manpage describes the program implementation of apple_driver as
shipped by the cdrkit distribution. See
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/debburn/ for details. It is a spinof
from the original program distributed by the cdrtools project. However,
the cdrtools developers are not involved in the development of this
spinoff and therefore shall not be made responsible for any problem
caused by it. Do not try to get support for this program by contacting
the original authors.
