I also have a Toshiba laptop. Many laptops have non-standard hardware that isn't easily picked up by the standard Knoppix / Linux load processes.
A simple web search may help you, however try this:
When you get the initial graphic boot screen with the prompt at the bottom, try typing:
knoppix nopcmcia noapic noapm
There's a good chance that this will get you started - it did for me. There are a whole bunch of other boot-time hardware switches that you can try if needed too:
nodma nomce nofirewire noscsi noswap nosmp noaudio etc
