most of the CDR (CD - Recording programs) do have an option - boot from image
the contents of the CD are burnt to form a bootable image

by creating a bootable image acutally, you are creating a boot CD
now the boot CD created contains the BR (Boot Record) that is emulated to the boot drive (Bootable emulation)

(non-bootable emulation results in the default action as specified ... our mp3 CDs, game CDs and other stuff).

In turn an allocated sector called the boot catalogue be created under the Boot Record and that would have the boot image that was created with CDR's

now you are ready with the Boot CD (to boot) capable of booting ur SYS.
