James,
it seems there are some BIOS/CDROM-drive/mkisofs combinations,
that won't boot. I thought this is sorted out with Fedora, I
spent many hours figuring out what's going wrong with test2+3,
FC2release booted fine on my "problem machine", but well...
Anyway, assuming you got an error-free CD1:
There is a nice tool: "Smart Boot Manager".
You can grab it at:
http://btmgr.sourceforge.net
Make a floppy, boot from it and select your CDROM.
Cheers,
Hannes.
