You need a util to setup the Bootimage file from the disk. Just burning the Floppy data wont work as you need an El-Torito standard Boot sector on the CD.

Adaptec Easy CD creator 3.5 can do it pretty easily, so should most other Burn software out in the last year.

There are a few free utils on the Web to help aswell but they're usually a lot more awkward.
