Problems installing Fedora Core 3

[Daniel Whalen]

I am having problems installing Fedora Core 3 on an old system I had laying
around that I wanted to turn into a print server.

The computer in question is an old NEC Pentium MMX 266, and the problem I am
running into is that it just won't seem to boot from the CD Rom drive
(adjusted it in the bios), instead it seems to skip over my Fedora disc
entirely.

I did a little bit of looking and found a program that was supposed to allow
me to boot from a CD via my floppy drive called smart boot manager
http://btmgr.webframe.org/index.php3?body=about.html but it just gave me a
"non system disk" error when I started up with it in the floppy drive.

I think that because of the age of the system, it just does not support
booting from CD rom (despite what the BIOS may indicate), and hopefully
somebody here can point me in the direction of a program that will get the
boot started from my floppy drive.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
