FWIW,
playing with this again and following your example, I found that I can not 
create a ISO that's bootable withou qemu, but that the following command 
gives me one, which should be functionally equivalent:

 	mkisofs -r -o cd_mkisofs.iso -b bootxx -no-emul-boot cdrom

so i guess we know that the problem's somewhere in makefs(1) now...
