Did you enter 'E:' or 'CDROM' in your BIOS setup? 'E:' won't work.

If it's not a wrong BIOS setting, it's a question of timing. May take some
time to figure out at which point of time the CD should be inserted.

You *can* use that, but I'd prefer LiLo. It's much easier to handle and
you may configure it from within Linux. Also if you run into troubles with
LiLo you are much more likely to receive help, because 80% of all Linux
users use it and it's covered in various docs.
