While I have not done an image build with this, I have successfully booted from cd on my G5 now by manually doing the steps to inject loader and manually updating the boot blocks on a non-booting iso. I will also test whether loader loads on some G4 and G3 stuff I have.

Loader comes up fine and loads kernel on my iMac G3 using the same cd. (Ctrl-c'd it at that point since the ppc64 kernel won't run on g3)
