Yes this crate an isoimage with el-torito and rockridgr extention which
contains the contents of /mnt
and emulate with the PC-BIOS an 2.88 MB floppy-disc.
Then the bios boots from this emulated floppy.
This Boot works well on my PC but my older noteboock has problems with 2.88MB
bootimages.
Now i try to split up the bootprocess into two to get a 1.44 MB Bootdisk:
first boot root.raw.gz as initrd
Then i load usr.cpio.bz2 from the cd with a modfied rc.M
It works now on my Notenoock baut the problem is only to find the corret CD-Device.
Being working on.

The bootsector is in the bootimage.
In some reasons jou can create a multisession-cd.
In my cas this dont not well.
The documentation of cdrecord contains examples
