Just a guess... 
od [-t x1] filename.iso | less

I'm going from memory here -- so please excuse any innacuracies -- but
the first several 2048-byte sectors of a non-bootable iso are filled
with zeros. Therefore, if you have data in the first sector, you've
probably got a bootable iso. Whether the boot sector works, however, is
probably more difficult to determine.
