As long as you can have both a CD-ROM and floppy drive at the same time, you can probably make it wook by downloading
http://www.oldfiles.streamlinetrial.co.uk/powerload/bootdisk/oldbios.exe
This will create a boot floppy that will then boot the CD-ROM. I have used it a couple of times to boot from CD on machines that do not support booting from CD. (I think this is the same one as I have - the bookmark is on a different machine.) If you do not have access to a Windows machine, let me know and I will make an image of the floppy that you can copy to a floppy using dd.
Another alternative is Smart Boot Manager (http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/), which I use for this purpose without any problems. It has other features as well.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I used the oldbios.exe floppy to boot mandrake 8.2, which is installed and working fine. :)
