[syslinux] isolinux: Extremely broken BIOS detected

[Blaauw,Bernd B.]

It seems your BIOS is not broken, but the firmware of your SCSI controller.
If you had an IDE drive, booting would probably work. I guess Smart Boot Manager will also fail, as there's no ATAPI cdromdrive?

could you try Smart Boot Manager please?
bootdisk image at:
http://fdos.org/ripcord/beta9sr1/fdos1440.img

write imagefile to floppy (use DD, WinImage, Rawrite, whatever),
boot from floppy,
select 1 (386+)
select Smart Boot Manager (enter '2' and press ENTER key)

Once inside Smart Boot Manager, select 'CDROM' and you should be able to boot from cdrom.

Win98 uses DISKETTE EMULATION (1.44MB floppy), Isolinux uses non-emulation mode (or custom emulation, whatever the name is..).
That Unix tool should probably also use Isolinux, so..
How about Isolinux v1.67, which was one of the latest series1 of Isolinux?

Knoppix Linux used diskette emulation in the past, now it uses Isolinux, so that's yet another Linux distro that won't be able to help you.
