I'm not exactly sure what you need. Is this it?

ISOLINUX 4.06 0x513e88f5
isolinux: Starting up, DL = 82
isolinux: Loaded spec packet OK, drive = 82
isolinux: Main image LBA = 0000011D
isolinux: Main image read, jumping to main code...

I created an iso with isolinux-debug.bin as the boot loader and booted it
on that machine. If this is not what you are looking for, what are correct
steps?
