Best bet ... make a DOS bot disk with CD drivers
Boot to the a:\> prompt, run the d:\dosutils\autoboot.bat from the CD
that *should* do the trick.
(actually booting to DOS with CD drivers of any type would work (config.sys
menu / clean boot ??))
The other option is to try and boot from the CD, but that's not always
possible
