What are the minimum requirements that make a particular CD recognized as Bootable?

I'm not really interested with BIOS problems, I am aware of those.  I think more in terms of file systems and files required on the support.  Just still not been curious to know what brings a CD bootable and other CDs.  Only, I could get freeware of course to make the CD bootable for me, but I prefer to understand and make myself.  I am a former computer science and software engineer, a small terminology won't hurt, but looking more to just understand the basics.

-Appreciate your help, Jerry

There are a number of different formats of bootable CD - it's not like floppies, where a sector start-up and a certain group of files copied to the disc would make it bootable.  Microsoft uses a bootable Linux CD bootable configuration more use another, there are configurations of start-up owners and same files to boot Windows 9 x can be used to create a bootable CD.  I recommend to use Google or Bing to search standards ISO-9660 CD as a good starting point.
