Did you use mkhybrid? I burn cds on Slackware which are readable on
macOS 9.x but I also have on the linux side netatalk which provides
correct file extensions for the mac and --netatalk option.
Read the mkhybrid man pages and experiment. I was unable to make a boot
disk though theoretically it is possible with the -boot-hfs-file
<fileName> option.
