Create a boot disk?

I'm trying to use iPartition to partition the hard drive without having to wipe the whole thing and start again. Problem is, it says that I need a boot disk for it.

The only cd's that came with my iBook were the two installation disks and an 'Additional Software' disk. Is either one of these a boot disk? Or how do I set about creating one?

Also, after I've got the boot disk set up, how do I then make the iBook boot from that?

Thanks, Ben
