Been there, done that.  While mkisofs will write a partition table to the
CD, it doesn't appear to be able to create multiple partitions.  It
definitely doesn't know anything about ProDOS.  I've gone ahead and created
a utility that creates a partition table to string multiple ProDOS
filesystems together into one burnable ISO.  With a minor tweak, it'd also
allow the inclusion of HFS filesystems.

I'm not familiar with the program but maybe it doesn't need to
understand ProDOS or create multiple partitions. After making up
the partitioned ProDOS hard drive I attached it to a Mac and started
the Mac. Once the Mac had booted I turned on the hard drive. I then
started Toast and chose Device copy. It gave me a list of hard drives
including the one that wasn't mounted. The computer just did a block
copy and didn't know what was on the hard drive.
