There is no FAQ - however if someone is interested in maintaining one, then
I'd be happy to contribute ...

A simple command line that creates a cd image from a single directory is:

mkisofs -r -J -o output.iso directory_name

This will create a cd image called "output.iso" with the Rock Ridge (Unix)
and Joliet (Windows) extensions from the files and directories in the
directory called "directory_name" - contents of "directory_name" will be
at the top level directory on the CD.

The above is true for Unix - but I guess is should be the same for OS/2.

The output image will then have to be written to CD-R.
