Just a little note for those like me that need some time to boot cds on old computers.
If the bios is incompatible, you just have to use a floppy and write on it Smart Boot Manager.
How to do that :
On windows :
1. Download rawrite freely from http://www.chrysocome.net/rawwrite.
2. Download smb.bin from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4185&package_id=4201&release_id=25481 or http://www.informinator.ca/smb.bin
3. Use rawrite to write smb.bin on a floppy.4. Et voilà, you have a boot disk that will give you the possibility to choose the cdrom as start disk.
On linux :
1. Download smb.bin from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4185&package_id=4201&release_id=25481 or http://www.informinator.ca/smb.bin
2. Use dd to write smb.bin on a floppy : dd if=smb.bin of=/dev/fd0 && sync
3. Et voilà, you have a boot disk that will give you the possibility to choose the cdrom as start disk.
See you later!
