Use the norton ghost boot wizard, create a floppy disk, then just use a burning software (nero or easy cd creator) then select bootable cd as your type and have it make the boot image from the floppy disk you created. Thats how I did it for the school I work for.

I belive there is an option for Ghost Bootable CD in the wizard.
BTW: Winimage can be found at http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm
Bart's network boot disk has an option to include files in it (I think its the "files" directory, but feel free to read the documentation :). You can get Barts here: http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/ There will of course be some config.sys modifications needed, and you'll need DOS drivers for those devices...

Right, I've got Symantec ghost, and it has options for creating floppy with CD-rw&usb / CD-Rom / Network / ... support. The "CD-Rom" boot disk may also be used to create a bootable CD from.
Selecting 'CD-Rw' support adds Promise's ASPI drivers. These may come in handy, as they recognize quite some ATA & ATAPI devices.
I believe SATA drive recognition and steering is handled by the mainboard chipset, so you wouldn't need any more drivers. Makes sence too - if you go into a DOS prompt, you can still access the SATA drives.
I suggest you just make all the boot disks (network, usb, lpt, cd-rw, ....) and look what files & settings are different, then take the right drivers off the boot disks and add it to your CD.
