cat /dev/cdrom > cd.iso
cdrecord -scanbus that gets you the device number for your burner
eg 0,3,0 for dev=
cdrecord -v speed=your_burner_speed dev=x,y,z cd.iso
The boot stuff is already in the iso image, it got put there during the
mkisofs stage ( assuming it's a bootable cd you are copying ).
If you want to check the iso image before burning it
mount -r -t iso9660 -o loop cd.iso /mnt
Maybe as root for the mount.
Much easier than stuffing abround with the guis
