    If you want it fixed, you'll have to tell us what's broken. At the
    very least, tell us what error message the BIOS prints when it tries
    to boot from the CD.

    FWIW, I have booted a lot of i386 machines (most of them Dells) from
    CD lately, and have not had any trouble.

    lemme guess, you forgot to hit F12 and tell the BIOS to boot from the
    CD-ROM instead of the hard disk?
