I suspect you can create a new disk, and use the images/boot.img file (1.44MB), rather than the dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img (2.88) I'm not sure, but you might be able to copy CD 1 to disk, replace the cdboot.img file with the boot.img file, and create a new iso. I've never tried, but it seems like it should be possible.
