Very true. I have my old Award BIOS (06/27/96 release) which
gives me problems booting from the CD. Since RH CD comes
with the autoboot, you can try that.

The autoboot was broken in ihe RH 6.0 package that came
with theChip CD. So, try

cd\autoboot
loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz initrd=autoboot\initrd.img
