mkisofs boot cd & disc name

mkisofs boot cd & disc name

[Neon]

Hiya,

How exactly do I go about making boot cds and giving a
name to the disc, in mkisofs?

I tried the following command, 

mkisofs -R -A exolinux -G /mnt/cdrom/images/boot.img
-o cdimage.raw /mnt/cdrom

As far as I know, -A is for the name of the disc
(application id) and -G is the path for the boot
image. But when I burnt, neither turned out, the name
of the cd in the volume header was "cdrom" and it was
not a bootable cd.

What exactly is the problem? Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Neon.

You need to use "-b" and "-c"; see the file README.eltorito from the
mkisofs package (e.g. /usr/doc/mkisofs-<version>/README.eltorito).
