Probably the BIOS can only boot 1.44 images from CDs, and is too brain-dead to know that it is failing on a 2.88 image. Try using a real floppy instead of the CD. If that is the problem, there is no simple fix, you could try imaging one as a harddisk but I've never done ElTorito-harddisk, I only do the ElTorito-2.88.
