The command to make a boot disk is - are you ready? - mkbootdisk
The man page more or less explains the process.  However, I was
unsuccessful in finding any arguments for mkbootdisk that would
write a CD directly, in one step.  
This may imply a bug in mkbootdisk.

Here's a two step process that worked for me:

    # mkbootdisk --verbose --iso --size 700000 --device /tmp/boot.iso \
            2.6.12-1.1447_FC4

    which creates an iso image - obviously too big for a floppy
    -rw-r--r--   1 root root 3151872 Sep 20 12:32 /tmp/boot.iso

    # cdrecord -v -eject dev=ATA:1,0,0 driveropts=burnfree -dao /tmp/boot.iso
