Assuming that you burned the CD as an image directly to the disc, if
your BIOS does not support booting and the disk is bootable, you can try
using the Smart Boot Manager (sbm).  You can install SBM to a floppy by
installing it from an Ubuntu system, or you can just go to the SBM web
site for additional install methods.
