creating boot cds

[adit y <adity24@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Just trying to learn how to make bootable installation
cds. Boot cd's downloaded from the website work fine, 
when i raw write partboot.img, partroot.img to a a 2
floppy disks and boot using floppies it works fine. if
i burn them to cd the system boots and looks like it
is asking for a second floppy which has the
partroot.img , if i use the floppy disk it works fine.
but why do i need to insert the second floppy, i
already have the partroot.img in the root directory .
some how the cd i burnt is not  able to know that the
partroot.img image it is expecting is present in the
root directory.

it always stops at vfs: insert root floppy disk to
load ramdisk and present enter it's the same with
every linux cd i burnt right now i am trying to burn
parted restoration cd. i know i am doing something
wrong.

i do 
mkisofs -r -l -o \disk.iso -b partboot.img -c
boot.catalog e:\partediso

thanks
Srinivas
