Doesn't the Debian installation CD have a bootable floppy image that I can use as the boot image on a bootable CDROM? The manual for mkisofs says: -b eltorito_boot_image Specifies the path and filename of the boot image to be used when making an "El Torito" bootable CD. The pathname must be relative to the source path specified to mkisofs. This option is required to make an "El Torito" bootable CD. The boot image must be exactly the size of either a 1200, 1440, or a 2880 kilobyte floppy, and mkisofs will use this size when creating the output iso9660 filesystem. It is assumed that the first 512 byte sector should be read from the boot image (it is essentially emu lating a normal floppy drive). This will work, for example, if the boot image is a LILO based boot floppy. End of quote. What I am not sure about is how to get the type of image I need to put in to that file. Thanks.
