I don't know enough about your query to answer all of your questions,
but to make any device bootable, including a CD, you need to put a
bootloader (and a kernel, of course) onto the device. If you are
putting a Linux kernel onto the CD, the most common bootloader to use
is ISOLINUX, although a recent release of GRUB will work as well.
