Our second reading is also from the book of mkisofs(8).

    -c boot_catalog
    Specifies the path and filename of the boot catalog  to be  used
    when  making  an "El Torito" bootable CD. The pathname must be
    relative to the source path  specified to  mkisofs. This option is
    required to make a bootable CD.  This file will be inserted into
    the  output  tree and  not  created  in the source filesystem, so
    be sure the specified filename does not conflict with an exist-
    ing  file,  as it will be excluded. Usually a name like
    "boot.catalog" is chosen.

Praise be to our lord Joerg Schilling.


See what happens when you leave early?
