How to change installer image?



Hello,

To fix some configurations needed to install via a serial connection, I 
would like to edit txt.cfg in isolinux of the stable installation CD. 
Following https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CD I try:
1) mkdir /tmp/debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod
2) bsdtar -C /tmp/debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod -xf debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1.iso
3) nano /tmp/debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod/isolinux/txt.cfg ...
4) genisoimage -o debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod.iso -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-
load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat 
./debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod/
5) dd if=debian-7.8.0-i386-CD-1-mod.iso of=/dev/<MYMEMSTICK> bs=4M; sync

Contrary to the original image, the resulting usb stick is NOT recognized as 
bootable ...

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Joh
