I think I asked this once on another thread, but I think it got missed. Just in case, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a bootable CD, with the El Torito(?) standard.

I have several programs that are on bootable floppy disks that I would like to copy over to CD-ROM, but I cant get the CDROM to boot, so I assume I am missing something.

Found this in the CD-Writing howto at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-4.html

You must have an 1.44 MB bootable floppy-disk. Create an exact image of this floppy-disk by issuing the command

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=boot.img bs=18k

Place this floppy image into the directory holding the collection of your files (or into a subdirectory of it, just as you like). Tell mkisofs about this file with the option '-b' and also use '-c'. For details read the file README.eltorito in the mkisofs-distribution.

Hope this points you in the correct direction. I have been meaning to give it a go myself and would interested to know how you get on.
