Hi,

Do the Debian amd64 or i386 netinst ISOs boot.
They have APM but no HFS+. :))
It should be possible to prevent HFS+ by adding xorriso arguments.
In this case the separator string "--" to end the parameter list of
xorriso command -as "mkisofs", and the xorriso command -hfsplus "off".
(The -as "mkisofs" emulation command has no option to disable it after
it was set. But command -hfsplus can do.)
If
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Invoking-grub_002dmkrescue.html
is still (or again) valid, then this should work:
grub-mkrescue ...grub-mkrescue.options... -- -hfsplus off
For a while, the first "--" was consumed by grub-mkrescue as of git.
The symptom would be
xorriso : FAILURE : Cannot determine attributes of source file '.../off' : No
such file or directory
In that case use one "--" more.
See man xorrisofs for -as "mkisofs" options and
man xorriso for xorriso commands (among them -as).

Interesting question. Vladimir told me that there were Macs
which need HFS+ and blessings to find GRUB2. Young enough for x86
but too old for GPT.
Have anice day :)
