boot problem - my BIOS?

[iwasnthere]

Hi!

I am a little puzzled: I have the latest Knoppix 3.7 CD and it's able
to boot my old Compaq 350 SSF PC. I changed the boot order to CD-first
(Compaq's own BIOS) and at it boots (even at 64 MB RAM!). Lovely.

But on my Fujitsu-Siemens 800 MHz PC it won't boot (after again having
changed the boot order). It's a Phoenix BIOS. Do anyone have a clue why?

Last but not least: I run Slackware Linux regularly. They have a decent manual
on the web (for Slackware 8.0). I don't seem to find any for Knoppix - am I
(Google) blind?

Kind regards
