The best way to do this is to use a usbpen, as you will drive yourself mad 
re-burning cd-rw's as follows:

1) prepare filesystem
2) create iso
3) burn cd
4) test cd in another machine
5) something breaks
6) goto 1

With a usbpen you can remove steps 2 & 3 at least, then once you have all the 
bootup scripts, kernel and ramdisk working you can create the iso.
