1.) Files/Folders from the Harddisk image extracted.
2.) Drive letter in different files (AUTOEXEC.BAT/DOS.BAT/TMENU.BAT D: > Q: /depent of your settings for MSCDEX) fitted.
3.) ImgBurn > Create image file from files/folders
4.) Following files on ImgBurn placed (the sequence is important!):

IO.SYS
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT
RUN386.EXE
TBIOS.BIN
TBIOS.SYS

and all the other files/folders (the order is now no more important).

5.) CD-ROM image (Alltynex.iso) created.
6.) CUE file for the Alltynex.iso created.
7.) For FM-Towns you need the IPL tools (IPL.BIN/IPL.COM) to make the CD bootable.
Command line: IPL IPL.BIN Alltynex.iso
The new CD-ROM image is now bootable.
8.) chdman createcd -i Alltynex.cue -o Alltynex.chd

I forgot the source of supply for the IPL tools.
