With mkhybrid, which is what I use, you give it the boot image relitive to the root of the cdrom with the -b command line option. For example: #!/bin/sh echo "Creating image file for disc 1..." mkhybrid -a -r -v -T -V "FreeBSD" -b floppies/boot.flp -c boot.catalog \ -o /a/projects/bsd/bsd1.iso /a/projects/bsd/disc1 Both the -b and -c swithes are necessary to make a bootable cdrom.
