Well, when you get into the details of doing this with the ISO image that 
mkhybrid creates it turns out it's about 99% identical to what you're 
already doing in installboot.  At least that's where I ended up after 
research both the disk and CD requirments for boot code. I finally came 
to the conclusion that the two could be combined without to much effort.  
But I'm open to alternatives, and I think right now it's more important 
to get the disk working with APM.
