First if you aren't really familiar with making bootable CDs you can end up with a lot of coasters - so use a CDRW if you can... also you might wanna consider using a CD with floppy setup as it is by far the easier way to do things..... that said:
You appear to be using windows so you can't really use the "proper mkisofs" command. What I would personally recommend you do is use WinISO. You will be able to copy your new modules from floppy to the CD image burn the new image and the CD will still be bootable. That is the easiest way to do what you want. The bootdisk.bin file is actually just a binary image of a floppy disk (with a boot sector and everything else). If you wanted to change say how much system ram would be configured for the file system of the router you would have to edit a file contained within bootdisk.bin. If you can get your router up and running without having to alter anything here then that is the way to go. People who end up changing that particular value are usually running several packages that either extend the robustness of the router or help to monitor it.
