is this CD meant to also boot an i386 machine?? if not there's no need to
include an El Torito boot image ("-b boot-padded.fs -c boot.catalog")...
iirc, eltorito CDs have some magic done to them so the client hardware can
find the boot floppy image - perhaps this is confusing the OF ISO9660 fs
code...

also, don't the -l and -L options break strict ISO9660 conformance??

i'd try burning a minimal CD first to see if even that will work - ofwboot
and a kernel both with 8.3 filenames, no other files, no El Torito, no
Joliet, no Rock Ridge, no other ISO9660 extensions... if that works you're
on the way to finding what option you're using on the CD is confusing OF
on your machine...
