Say you want to put all boot files into /boot/ relative to the cd tree. Also, I'll assume that your boot floppy image is rescue.bin. So given the above, this is how you'd envoke mkisofs: "mkisofs -b boot/rescue.bin -c boot/boot.catalog ", and so on. Note that the boot/boot.catalog file noted with the -c flag is manditory, however, mkisofs will create it automagically. Hth.
