It's a bigger issue with hybrid CD (with both iso and hfs partitions.)

I'm using a small ppc rescue disk on a USB stick, (copied with dd)

mount:

/dev/sdb on /media/PPCRCD type iso9660 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8)
/dev/sdb1 on /media/PPCRCD-1 type iso9660 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8)

sdb and sdb1 is are same thing but mac-fdisk -l /dev/sdb:
 /dev/sdb
        #                    type name                length   base    ( size )  system
/dev/sdb1     Apple_partition_map Apple                    2 @ 1       (  1.0k)  Partition map
/dev/sdb2               Apple_HFS PPCRCD              102100 @ 16      ( 49.9M)  HFS

And there's no way to get to /dev/sdb2 where the  data are.
from  a terminal:
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/cdrom
mount: special device /dev/sdb2 does not exist

It's the same when using a real CD (drive on hdc) and I suspect that
multi sessions CD have issues too.
