You don't need to create a boot.catalog file - mkisofs will create one
in the output image (and ignore any existing file of the same name).
The argument to the -c option must be a filename relative to the source
directory given on the command line. (The directory path of the filename
must exist).
In your case, the command line should be:
mkisofs -b boot/boot.img -c boot/boot.catalog -o cdImage .
