Turning a bootable floppy into a bootable cdrom is fairly easy, if you
know what to do and don't have to make yourself crazy with the mkisofs
man page  =).

% mkdir cdimg
% cp floppy.img cdimg/
% mkisofs -r -b floppy.img -c boot.cat -o cd.iso cdimg/

Then just burn cd.iso to a cd and you are ready to go.
