how to make a cd bootable

[Gregory Nowak]

Say you want to put all boot files
into /boot/ relative to the cd tree. Also, I'll assume that your boot
floppy image is rescue.bin.
So given the above, this is how you'd envoke mkisofs:
"mkisofs -b boot/rescue.bin -c boot/boot.catalog ", and so on. Note that the boot/boot.catalog file noted with the
-c flag is manditory, however, mkisofs will create it automagically.
Hth.
