Look at the "-eltorito-platform id" option:

[quote]
 x86  This is the default platform id value  and  speci-
      fies   entries   for   the  PC  platform.   If  no
      -eltorito-platform option appears before the first
      -eltorito-boot  option,  the  default  boot  entry
      becomes an entry for the x86 PC platform.
 
 PPC  Boot entries for the Power PC platform.
 
 Mac  Boot entries for the Apple Mac platform.
 
 efi  Boot entries for EFI based PCs.
 
 #    A numeric value specifying any platform id.

I don't know about the specific "platform id" argument that the 
isohybrid tool expects for each case, but "efi", "Mac" and "PPC" are 
not the same for mkisofs.

If the isohybrid tool expects to use "efi" for "Mac" and/or for 
"PPC", then perhaps this might be part of the problem (if not now, at 
least at some point)?
