I suggest you genisoimage or mkisofs command with -b and -no-emul-boot options.

I tried it with -b option as like following command.

genisoimage -no-emul-boot -b bootcode.bin -o test.iso testdir

I referenced that from the man page of genisoimage. Also you can see it with the command that man genisoimage.
