In theory, it should work, however, you might have to update
isolinux.bin as well.
This WILL NOT WORK if you don't have proper boot-info-table support!
The fallback mode for non-mkisofs mastering software assumes
single-session support.
Of course, this also assumes that the firmware will actually follow the
El Torito spec and boot from the newest session. Good luck.
