I guess I need to make a boot floppy that will let me PXE boot.
Well, it's old enough that there might be a CD booting issue. Is there an option in the BIOS to have the CD in the boot order? If not that's certainly a problem. If there is and it's enabled it still might be the issue, as some BOISes around this vintage just didn't get it quite right. One fix is to use a boot manager to boot the CD; I've done this on old systems that didn't even have the CD listed as a bootable device in the BIOS. Works good.
I can suggest two choices, but the FAQ that I keep referring to gives them also, so I guess there is no point in duplicating that information here. I think this would be a far better way to get things going than to try to get PXE and a PXE server working.
