I don't know burnatonce. Check the menues for 'bootable CD' for 'eltorito' or
for 'floppy disk emulation'

If you can see the image file in your file browser, it's almost sure that you
burned it into the ISO file system tree. It won't boot from there.
You need to have in the CD-ROM's boot area which for my understanding
is a quite different thing.

Further more, I don't know any way to create multisession bootable CDs.
You have to decide: multisession OR bootable.
So, if you want a bootable BL CD containing addional data in the regular
file system, you need to create the whole disk in one single toast process.
