    According the K3B handbook, you must insert a bootable image to your DVD/CD will boot from it and give you a shell :

A boot image can be a direct copy of a floppy or hard disk (for example, created by the dd shell command) as well as another disc's boot image. In any case it's a single file containing a complete, bootable system that is burned as a normal file. In order to let the computer know that the disc contains a boot image, the burning application creates a boot catalog file whose name can be determined in the dialog window.

    Perhaps FreeDos can do the trick.
