There is another option for you if you still unable to boot from cd.
Get kanotix-X (fix2). It can boot from iso using cheatcode : fromiso=path/name.iso
You can get it to work and boot without a cd but you need to install Grub.
You also need to copy vmlinuz and miniroot.gz from cd to your hdd.
I haven't try this, maybe you can install to hdd while booting fromiso.
This is an example of my Grub's menu.lst:
title Boot Kanotix iso
kernel /kanotix-iso/vmlinuz fromiso=/kanotix-iso/kano*.iso noprompt ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi nomce quiet alsa silent
initrd /kanotix-iso/miniroot.gz
Good luck
