I know it is already rejected, but here is the full explanation by cmdr
about the problem:

Just if anyone is interested in this topic.

Attached is cmdr's diff to the isohybrid script, also for those
interested. I think a problem here is with disk utilities' complaints
of a recursive partition table. I wonder if there's a way to address
this _other_than_ changing "offset" in the isohybrid script. Original
isohybrid on the "left" ("<") and modified one on the "right" (">").
