El Torito is a PC thing. It makes the front of a CDROM look like a floppy to 
the PC BIOS. For hppa you put a lifimage on the front of the CDROM(or tape or 
HDD, etc).

Maybe. Paul Bame is the expert though. I think he had to do some work to get 
palo to be able to see a kernel on an ISO9660 filesystem. I don't know if it 
can currently be interruped and pointed at a different kernel. Paul?
