Look at:

http://toms.net/tomsrtbt-sources/part3/rb/finit.s

and:

http://toms.net/tomsrtbt-sources/part3/rb/fordos/

As the dos-installer uses an initrd boot.  Also maybe see:

http://toms.net/tomsrtbt-sources/part3/rb/eltorito.s

The script that makes the eltorito bootable cdrom version.

Note, none of these scripts are release-quality, or documented, or
supported.  But they might help.
