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

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
:wq!
