My notebook is not able to boot a 2.88M Floppyimage.
Because this i seeked an other solution and found
isolinux ( included in the syslinux package from
ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot).

the create was easey:
Boot Tomsrtbt, save the ramdisk, mount ramdiskimage, modified rc.S, clean mtab,
compress it, create a isolinux .cnf ,copy files into a dir "isolinux"
then
mkisofs -o tmp.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot 
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /mnt/tmpcd

That was it. This works also on my scsi-cdrom.

Would this be an option for the official version or had one had bad experience
with this?

isolinux.cfg:
----------------
default toms
label toms
kernel bz2image
append load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 initrd=rootfs.bz2 root=/dev/ram rw
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 50  
-----------------
 # l /mnt/tmpcd/isolinux

bz2bzImage was not a legal name...
