I am yet another newbie to linux and I wanted to put knoppix on an old pc just for shits and so I adjusted my boot sequence in my bios as follows: CD-ROM, Floppy, HD1. I did make a floppy disk just incase it wouldn't boot from the CD. I put the floppy in and booted up. When it is booting up, its seems as if it is totally overlooking the cd-rom (though it is trying to access it) and goes right to the floppy. All is fine until I hit enter at the boot: prompt. It seems to load ok until it tries to find the cd. At that point it cannot find it and it takes me to a really shitty shell prompt. I know for a fact that the CD-ROM works because I had windows 98SE on it up until this point. I aslo know that the cd was burnt correctly because i tried it on a different computer and i didn't have a single problem. I even tried replacing the CD-ROM. No luck. Can someone please help me, I am seriously about to go off the deep end.
