4.11 How to make bootable CD-ROMs? 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. Let me know if you need README.eltorito (5k) -- Put bounce and zoom in every step with keds! kids! keds!
