Installing on an AMD K6-2-350

Folks

I have an ancient machine that ran FC1 just fine.

However, now when I boot from the installation CD (1), and enter
  linux text
the system reboots itself.

I can't get out of this loop.

Should I discard the computer, or is there some magic boot parameter that might work?
Or some alternate solution, since floppys are too small.

Thanks

David
