[parisc-linux] Creating boot CD with MacOS X

OK...  I've done a quick and dirty port of palo to MacOS X/Darwin.  
Here's my output:

[localhost:~/Desktop] dan% ./palo -f ./iso.conf
palo version 0.95 dan@localhost Sun Oct 28 23:53:13 CST 2001
ELF32 executable
ipl: addr 192512 size 26624 entry 0x0
  ko 0x0 ksz 0 k64o 0x0 k64sz 0 rdo 0 rdsz 0

ipl: addr 192512 size 26624 entry 0x0

<0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk>

And the iso.conf file contains:
-c0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk
-k/Volumes/palinux-0.9.1/debian/dists/sid/main/disks-
hppa/current/32/vmlinux
-b/Volumes/palinux-0.9.1/iplboot
-r/Volumes/palinux-0.9.1/debian/dists/sid/main/disks-
hppa/current/root.bin
-C./palinux-0.9.2.iso

/Volumes/palinux-0.9.1 is a mounted image of the palinux-0.9.2 ISO 
file.  It's not the same file that I'm trying to modify with palo.  
Anyway, does this look like it would work to boot from if I copied the 
modified ISO to a Win2k machine to burn directly to CD with EasyCD 
Creator?

Thanks,
Dan
