Using gtoaster (and presumably most other gui burning tools), you can
select a floppy image to be used as the "boot image" (may be referred
to as "el torito boot image" or similar) for the CD. Or, from command
line, you can use the '-b' option to mkisofs (as described in the
manual page). As in, if you have a boot image stored at
/cdrootdir/boot.img, `mkisofs -J -R -b boot.img /cdrootdir`
You can get the floppy image from the floppy by running: `dd
if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img`
