Hi
At first Linux would not recognise my cd-rom (NEC 260 double speed) but
the driver was in there.
Some cd-roms need to be initialised or something :) anyway I boot DOS.
You can use a DOS partition or a boot disk just so long as the cd-rom
initialisation procedure completes.
Then soft boot ctrl-alt-del to Linux and it should (might) work.

Good Luck
