I found this on SlashDot. You may have tried it already - I have not. Interesting concept, 
nonetheless.

In order to have a CD that is bootable on XBOX you must do some magics on the .iso image file 
before burning it. You will need to have a working GNU/Linux with the latest version of mkisofs, 
then issue the following commands: 

rootshell# mkdir tmp_mnt 
rootshell# mount -o loop dynebolic-1.0-bla.iso tmp_mnt 
rootshell# mkisofs -o dynebolic-1.0-bla-XBOX.iso -J -R -udf -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c 
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table tmp_mnt

Wait a bit until the end of the process, you will then be able to burn the 
dynebolic-1.0-bla-XBOX.iso file into a REWRITABLE CD (no way to boot from a WRITE-ONLY CD).
