Can't boot from CD, Bios doesn't recognize the CD drive
I'm trying to run Knoppix on a, how shall we say, ancient system. The Bios is not equipped to handle a CD-Rom, so Smart BootManager doesn't detect it as a valid drive and won't let me boot from it. Are there any Linux-friendly programs that fit on a floppy, akin to MSCDex but without the MS part, which will enable the CD-Rom so I can boot from it?
