you misunderstood the question.  what i'm after is the physical location
*on the cd* of the boot floppy image.  that is, in the middle of the iso
image that represents the cd.

when creating a bootable CD image with "mkisofs", the "-b" option
allows you to add a bootable floppy image to the cd.  so i'm still
curious about where it is on the cd.

maybe i'll just look at the source for mkisofs.
