Yes, you have to do this. However, if it can boot from CD and not boot
from DVD, BIOS boot order is not the problem.

Another question, will other/older distros boot from DVD? There is a bios
issue with some systems. I personally know little of this but it has been
discussed in alt.os.linux.slackware

Yes, but the noise level in a.o.l.s is a little high at the moment ;)

Alternate slack-12 boot methods are available, PXE and USB, in the
usb-and-pxe-installers directory on the install DVD. See the READMEs.
