Topic: How do you boot from CD ISO?

Maybe this is a newbie question, but any help would be appreciated.

 I've downloaded FreeDOS as a bootable CD ISO image. I want to add this to my menu to boot from, but I can't figure out how.

 I already have other .img files from floppies in my menu, but as this is from a CD ISO I don't know how to add/convert/run the file and put the files in the appropriate directories??

 Can anyone help?  - Thanks!

Actually wait a sec... I just tried doing that, and then during boot - when I select FreeDOS it starts to load and I get an "image checksum error"..... but it works fine if I boot from it stand-alone and not from the boot cd.... anyone know why?
