Yes, looks fine. I'd use -cdrom and -boot d to force CD boot, it has
more chances to boot.

From genisoimage manual

       If the option -graft-points has been specified, it is possible to graft
       the  paths  at points other than the root directory, and it is possible
       to graft files or directories onto the cdrom image with names different
       than  what  they  have  in  the  source filesystem.  This is easiest to
       illustrate with a couple of examples.  Let's start by assuming  that  a
       local  file  ../old.lis exists, and you wish to include it in the cdrom
       image.

              foo/bar/=../old.lis
