Here are the device command lines you would need to boot cd-rom in DOS or Win95/98 command prompt mode: First make a bootable floopy diskette by inserting a blank diskette to an existing Win95/98 system and type in the following commands in MS-DOS prompt: "format a:\ /s" Windows shall write a small command interpreter onto the diskette and make it bootable.
Next, use any editor program and: Set a:\config.sys as: device=a:\pcmide\pcmi80cl.sys /Q0 device=a:\pcmide\statpcdm.sys /d:mscd000 Lastdrive=H
Set a:\autoexec.bat as: a:\mscdex /d:mscd000
Both "pcmi80cl.sys" and "statpcdm.sys" can be downloaded from "www.shining.com", compressed file name is "Citirom.zip" under "pcmide" directory.
Also, copy the "mscdex.exe" from the existing Windows( under c:\windows\commands ) to A:\ as well.
After all above job done, insert the diskette into floppy drive with PCMCIA/IDE card+CD-ROM attached, and reboot.
