Yep. I had just figured this out when your email came through. I had tried to set it aside for awhile until someone told me what I was doing wrong but it drove me crazy with it sitting on the floor so I had to pull it back up and figure it out. Basically the key was that the boot image has to be in the same directory as the rest of the stuff that was recorded on the CD. I don't believe I had to do this on my old 7.1 box with kisocd - that package must have handled all that stuff in the background. In any case, it's all working now.
