can you be more clear.
As I understand that you are saying I need boot.flp file along with the
4.3-install.iso file to be burned in the cd and some how letting burning
software inform that it is a boot cd, I dont think any software does that.
Please be more clear.

You need to download the boot.flp from the FTP and, when you burn the CD,
make it a Boot-CD with boot.flp as the boot image.
