+<application>isomarkboot</application>
+enables ISO images created with <application>mkisofs</application>(8) or
+retrieved from the net
+to be booted on Linux/Alpha systems.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+First you have to prepare your ISO image and mount it loopback on
+<filename>/dev/xxx</filename> (typically <filename>/dev/loop0</filename>)
+(see <application>mount</application>(8) for details). 
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Next you need to locate the aboot-loader (called <filename>bootlx</filename>)
+and the RAM-disk image containing the root file system (the latter is optional
+but usually sensible to specify) which is often called 
+<filename>root.bin</filename> within your ISO image.
+</para>
+<para>
+Finally enable the image to be booted:
+</para>
+<para>
+<command>
+isomarkboot <parameter>/dev/xxx path/to/bootlx path/to/root.bin</parameter>
+</command>
+</para>
+<para>
+A typical location of <filename>bootlx</filename> on the disk image is
+<filename>boot/bootlx</filename>. The paths of <filename>bootlx</filename>
+and <filename>root.bin</filename> are relative to the root of the image. If
+your image is not mounted you have to replace <filename>/dev/xxx</filename>
+with the path to the image.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Finally you have to burn the CD using e.g.
+<application>xcdroast</application> after unmounting the image.
+</para>

+<para>
+<application>isomarkboot</application> is not heavily tested on
+architectures other than Linux/Alpha, though it compiles (with
+slight patches). Please report bugs if you experience them.

+<para>
+<application>isomarkboot</application> is capable of handling symlinks
