Trying to boot from floppy

[Zedd]

The old BIOS of this laptop won't allow syslinux to start Fedora's installer, so I'm using a GRUB boot floppy and can't seem to get it to work. CD1 is in the only cd drive and I'm editing the boot command from the floppy program. What's wrong with my commands?

root (cd0,x)
kernel (cd0,x).isolinux/vmlinuz
initrd (cd0,x)/isolinux/initrd.img


I get the error "Error 23: Error while parsing number"

Did I name my cd drive incorrectly? Help please!

Also, there's smart boot manager floppy (http://linux.simple.be/tools/sbm) that lets you choose to boot to CD from a menu.

Right, I tried Shams website, which is what my little script is an edit of. Pretty much it just changes hd0,0 to cd0,0 which should work, but it doesn't. Don't know why. And Spoon! I tried SBM, but as the laptop is extremely old, the cd drive and floppy drive have to be switched out. So I can't have the CD in at the same time as the floppy. This is normally not a problem as the floppy program really only loads into the memory, but once I put the CD in, it won't recognize it. I guess I'll just have to copy the images to the hard drive.
