Assuming that you have burned other bootable iso without problem, that
you are issuing the same command with this iso file, that your BIOS can
boot up from CD and given that the only thing you are not positively
sure is that the iso image is bootable ("At least the documentation says
so"), I will point to a non-bootable iso image.
I don't know of any method-trick-procedure-command that can find out if
an iso image is bootable.
