Not with version 2.08. But with recent version you can set following:
# If you do not have a cd burner and only want to create an iso_image
# then set ISO_ONLY="yes" also set BLANKING="no" later in this file.
ISO_ONLY="yes"
And there's no problem using the sid version in woody.

Hm, I'm not sure, but maybe your cdrom gets back to valhalla soon.

Could you mail the complete error message?

# CDDEV=/dev/hda|/dev/hdb|/dev/hdc|/dev/hdd|/dev/scd0|/dev/scd1|/dev/scd2
# You can specify one or more CD devices to boot from.
# The first entry is the default. The rest will be given as boot options
# to the user. See DISPLAY.
# CDDEV="/dev/hdc /dev/hda /dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd /dev/scd0
# /dev/scd1"
CDDEV="/dev/hdc /dev/hda /dev/hdb /dev/hdc /dev/hdd /dev/scd0 /dev/scd1"
It lets you choose on which device the rootfs lies. Per default it's hdc
in this example.
So long
