If you want that bootable, you might consider including a boot image.

<ahem>

A reading from the book of mkisofs(8) according to Joerg Schilling.

 -b eltorito_boot_image
   Specifies the path and filename of the boot image to be used
   when making an "El Torito" bootable CD. The path- name must be
   relative to the source path  specified  to mkisofs. This option
   is required to make an "El Torito" bootable CD.  The boot image
   must be exactly  the  size of  either  a  1.2,  1.44,  or  a
   2.88 meg floppy, and mkisofs will use this size  when  creating
   the  output iso9660  filesystem. ...

Praise be to our lord Joerg Schilling.
