Put all your files in a directory, I call mine ROOT. Make sure the /boot/cdboot file is in your root somewhere, I keep it in ROOT/boot and then try the following: mkisofs -l -R -L -o my.iso -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot ROOT You will have to make sure you have everything you need on that CD to boot, and a writable /dev/partition etc. See http://www.bsdtoday.com/2002/March/Features646.html for other hints.
