Big concern here is that the -b and -c are NOT part of the
isoimage burn requested.  This is most likely your problem,
mkisofs well actually create and write the boot.catalog file,
and I am almost certain that it must appear on the cdrom at
that same relative location (ie, the arg to mkisofs should almost
always be . )
