[NBLUG/talk] bootable cd from iso image

I have an iso image for which I don't have access to the file system from 
which it was built.  I would like to make it bootable.

I have used it on machines with both floppy and cd drives - just use a 
bootable floppy and then reference the cd for system load.  I have a system 
w/o floppy so now need to see if I can't make a bootable cd image with the 
current .iso.

My hope was that I could combine a floppy boot.img with the current iso 
somehow, but can't find a way that'll do the job.

I've been through HOWTOs, looked hard at mkisofs and cdrecord and "googled" 
but to no avail.

Am I beating a dead horse, or is there a way to do this?

TIA for any pointers, ideas.

Regards,  Glen
