QEMU ISO image throws error 0004 no bootable device

Question

I created a Linux distro using the guide from Linux Journal. I then used genisoimage -o sunshine.iso Sunshine, where sunshine is the directory containing my source code. I then ran it using qemu-system-x86_64 sunshine.iso -curses when it throws an error saying: Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

                         Booting from DVD/CD...
                         Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0004)
