If you cannot boot from your Red Hat Linux CD-ROM, you have two options:
You can change your BIOS so that booting from CD-ROM is recognized first, or
Boot from the boot diskette included in the boxed set.
To change your BIOS, you should refer to your system manual for the correct keyboard combination that will allow you to access your BIOS, or you can read the key sequence needed while the system begins to boot.
To boot from the boxed set Red Hat Linux boot disk, insert the diskette into your floppy drive and then boot/reboot your computer.
If you are experiencing difficulties in getting the Red Hat Linux boot disk to boot your system correctly, you may need an updated boot disk.
