OK - the ISO was created as bootable...

Pre ISOhybrid
hexdump -n 2 -s 510 -x -v name.iso
00001fe    aa55                                                       
0000200


Post ISOhybrid
hexdump -n 2 -s 510 -x -v name.iso
00001fe    aa55                                                       
0000200

I tried specifying the --entry parameter of isohybrid as 1 but the mnttool matter remains unchanged.

Time to move on...

I got an email saying fdisk works to identify these - indeed, "fdisk -l tinycore.iso" works.

Thanks to Michael Shigorin.
