Well, apart from specifying an absolute path in $BOOT_IMAGE, not a lot.

It doesn't create one. It's actually created by mkisofs and makes the CD
or DVD bootable.

Okay. My suggestion is to copy the bit from makeSUSEdvd that actually
does the image creation, namely these lines:
pushd /home/mdiehl/newstart/raw/
BOOT_IMAGE=$(find . -name isolinux.bin)
BOOT_IMAGE=$(dirname "${BOOT_IMAGE:2}")
mkisofs -v -V "SLES.001" -r -J -l -L -publisher "mdiehl" \
-b "${BOOT_IMAGE}/isolinux.bin" -c "${BOOT_IMAGE}/boot.cat" \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -graft-points \
-iso-level 4 -pad -allow-leading-dots -o "../b.iso" .
popd
These will change the $PWD and then locate the file isolinux.bin. From
this it will create the correct path for isolinux.bin and boot.cat. Then
it will call mkisofs to actually create the ISO image, which will end up
as /home/mdiehl/newstart/b.iso
Try that and let me know if it works or, if it fails, what the error
message is.
[0] Must add a few other dependencies that are actually needed but
aren't listed in the spec file.
