Ok Macintosh, Sun and most other BSD derived boxes support partitioned CD-ROM. This has nothing to do with 'partitioning/multi session' at the CD layer. Instead the CD image consists of
Mac
labels, partition table, multiple HFS file systems
BSD/SunOS/Solaris
diskslice stuff, multiple UFS and other partitions
(basically it assumes a CD image is just like a disk image)
