mkisofs will generate the boot.catalog file for you. Add '-dummy' to cdrecord if you want a test run first. If cdrecord doesn't know about your cdr then you'll need to add 'dev=x,y,z' and possibly 'speed=n'. If you just want to create the .iso file then you can use '-o boot.iso' with mkisofs instead of piping it to cdrecord. The '.' at the end of mkisofs is still required though.
There's a file 'README.eltorrito' in /usr/share/doc/mkisofs that explains how to do boot CDs.
+
+!! Writing out downloaded (ISO) CDs
+
+The command you want to use is something like:
+<verbatim>
+# cdrecord dev=/dev/cdwriter abc.iso
+</verbatim>
+
+Where you substitute the device name of your CD writer and file you downloaded.
+
+If you do not run as root you get the following message:
+<verbatim>
+cdrecord: Operation not permitted. WARNING: Cannot set RR-scheduler
+cdrecord: Permission denied. WARNING: Cannot set priority using setpriority().
+cdrecord: WARNING: This causes a high risk for buffer underruns.
+</verbatim>
+
+Basically you can still burn the CD but would recommend you don't do other things at the same time that hog CPU or else you may burn a coaster.
