The "El Tortio" ISO9660 extention makes this fairly easy to do. This is a
bit convoluted, but if you just follow the steps it'll work.

Make a boot floppy & verify that works.

Make an image of the floppy, for example: (with the floppy in the floppy drive)

	cat /dev/fd0 > floppy.img


Now make an ISO9660 image with the following flags:

	mkisofs -b floppy.img -c boot.cat -o bootcd.iso floppy.img


You can then burn bootcd.iso onto a CDR and test it.
