mkbootdisk will only make you a rescue floppy.
I once built a router that booted and ran from CD and as I recall you need to make a bootimage to add to the iso image before you burn the CD.
It is possible that the bootnet.img would fill that need, you just need to get mkisofs to use it:-
"mkisofs -r -b images/bootnet.img -c boot/boot.catalog -o bootcd.iso ."
I'm guessing you'll need to change the root_device in the kernel on the bootnet.img to be the CD rather than the floppy - rdev will do that for you:-
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt cd /mnt/boot rdev <kernel> /dev/cdrom
This is not the exact answer to your problem - I don't have time to set it all out, but this should be enough to get you going in the right direction.
All this I gleaned from the CD-Writing howto:- http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
The README for my cdrouter project is at:- ftp://ftp.nexnix.co.uk/pub/linux/README-cdrouter
