bootdisk.img for FC2T1

I'm not sure that is really what I want either.  I probably didn't explain
myself correctly.  I'm trying to make a custom install CD based upon FC2T1.
I looked at the isolinux and the boot.iso but I still don't see where the
boot image file is that I pass to mkisofs with the -b option.  I assume that
it would have to be the size of a 2.8 MB floppy?  Or should I use the
-hard-disk-boot option?

Thanks again
  -Scott

What you're looking for then is boot.iso.  Booting is accomplished via 
isolinux.
