No, that's not what you need to do. Put the ElTorito.img file _into_ the buildroot you are using for your data cdrom, and use it as its boot image. With mkisofs use "-b ElTorito.img -c boot.cat" (or whatever, you really don't need to worry about the -c parameter). See the man page for mkisofs. > Then I could use EZ CD creator and burn the CD image. > However, I can't figure out the mkisofs command. > I tried various things like mkisofs -b > ...ElTorito.288.img > It seems like the -o option should also be set, but > can't figure it out. > Anyone know how to make an iso bootable image from the > .img file? > Any other suggestions? > TIA, Bob Cheers Tony
