Thanks for your reply. I tried without boot-load-size option and it still fails. When I have a debian installation CD in the drive, it always maps to fs0. But with my iso image on the CD, I do not see the cdrom drive being mapped.

I see that "-boot-load-size 1" in the systemimager script you referenced above, but I don't understand why it is there. Can you try again without that parameter? mkisofs -J -r -T -v -pad -b boot/siboot.img -c boot/boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -o cdrom.img . I assume the ISO content looks ok if you mount it somewhere - i.e. has a directory /boot with the siboot.img in it? > 9.
