I did not know that you added support for hfs+ mounting. Only for IFL or IFD and IFW too?

True. Does IFL support UEFI for booting. If yes one could use the "bless" command to boot directly from the iso without the need to create and extra partition

The IFL boot disk isn't UEFI, it's standard, but you can use IFL on a linux
