Re: [TCLUG:19968] Bootable Image Lilo and CDRW
You don't want to use mkisofs on the file if you are trying to make a
bootable CD. Just burn the floppy image directly.
I don't see why mkisofs would choke on it though. It should be just
another file, but I haven't tried with odd sizes. What does mkisofs say?
