You typod something.  Looks like you put a space between the '-' and the
first character of one of the options.

# mkisofs - o /tmp/tmp.iso ./
mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node - -

# mkisofs -o /tmp/tmp.iso ./

When you run mkisofs, it creates an ISO (cdrom filesystem) image with
all of the files in the cdboot directory.  So, for example
carcharias cdboot # find *
./boot
./boot/grub
./boot/grub/stage2_eltorito
./boot/grub/menu.lst
./boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
./boot/vmlinuz

Running mkisofs from this directory will create an ISO image with all of
these files included.  You then use cdrecord to write the ISO image to
the CD.
