Can you clarify what you mean by 'point mkisofs to the boot image'? It |

seems that 'man mkisofs' calls up pages about genisoimage. |

I've got the CD mounted on my Linux box. ls -al /mnt/cdrom shows only |
| 20 |
SPINRITE.EXE and nothing else. However the CD is bootable and I see |
| 21 |
FreeDOS info when it's booting so maybe all the |
| 22 |
autoexec.bat/config.sys stuff is hidden somewhere. Linux isn't seeing |
| 23 |
it. |
