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.

       By  using  a driver from an Apple CD and copying Apple software to your
