[ale] How to make a CD with just a bootable kernel?

[Robert L. Harris]

  I have a system at home that is having loads of fun with lilo for some
reason I haven't been able to pin down yet.  This system won't boot from
floppy correctly, it blows up as if it's getting a couple bad blocks or
something.  It will happily boot off CDRom though.  On my floppy I just
do a:

dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0

and the floppy will boot and then use root correctly,  etc.  Does anyone
have a simple command that'll do this with a scsi cdrom?  I burn CD's
regularly with cdrecord but I've never made a bootable CD...

Thanks,
  Robert
