editing boot.msg, recreating .iso

Hi. I'm trying to unpack/repack an .iso for the fun of doing it. It *almost* works fine, I'm using syslinux/isolinux, I
manage to unpack the isolinux/initram.img and do some simple editing (I'm editing arch linux' .iso). However the command:

find . | cpio -o -H newc > initrd.img
(from within the directory isolinux/initrd/) does not generate a bootable initram.

What am I missing ?
I really didn't edit anytihng special, only the boot.msg, yet bochs restarts after displaying "loading initramfs" (or whatever the message was, can't recall) but it works with the original arch iso, so it's not bochs' fault.
