   | Trying to boot a W98 CD-ROM, but the LINUX installed on the internal HD   
   | always boots instead.   
   |   
   | I've changed the BIOS settings. There are two applicable settings: boot   
   | sequence (now set to "CDROM, C, A") and HD boot (now set to "sec IDE S",   
   | which is where the CD-ROM drive is connected).   
   |   
   | System continues to ignore the CD (the drive does spin up, and the access   
   | light blinks) drive and boot from the HD. Not sure why this is so.   
   |   
   | Tried holding down C key, no avail.   
   |   
   | Is this an issue with the boot LINUX? Is it disallowing CD boot (AFAIK,   
   the   
   | bios is the one who determines boot device, yes?).   
   |   
   | Any help getting the Win CD booted so I can install Win on this box would   
   be   
   | greatly appreciated.   
   |   
   | This is on a NUTRONICS PC (P1?).   
   |   
   | Thanks,
