I'm trying to get Knoppix running on an old Pentium II (not sure what the clock speed or hard drive size are, but it has 256MB RAM) to get at some data on the hard drives. They're SCSI drives, so unfortunately, I can't just whip them out and plug them into a different machine, cos I don't have anything else compatible.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to boot from the Knoppix CD, despite giving the option to boot from CD ROM in BIOS. I'm assuming it's not loading the CD ROM drivers on boot up.

However, I can eventually get to a DOS prompt, at which point I can browse the files on the CD without issue.

So, is there an easy way to run Knoppix from the DOS prompt? (The machine does have a working floppy drive, incidentally.)

Thanks in advance.
