Yep, made sure of that.  I was thinking maybe it has something to do with
the mkisofs image I made.  I used the following options:

mkisofs -b <my boot image> -c boot.catalog \
        -o <my output file> \
        -J -r -T \ create Joliet directory records, rockridge it, and create
a TRANS.TBL
        -p <info record> \
        -P <More info> \
        -A <more info> \
        -V <more info> \
        .

Is this the way you create a cd that is readable by CD9660_BOOT?

Thanks,
Anthony
