Description of problem:
On attempting to boot from CD, syslinux complains about a
badly broken BIOS, and nothing more happens (no kernel loads,
etc).  Booting from floppy, no problems.

NB:  This system has been booted from many other CD's;
Knoppix works just fine, for example, and I installed Mandrake
on it some time ago with no need to boot from floppy.
So it seems to be something about this particular syslinux
version....

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Fedora Core 1 CD is in CDROM drive, no boot floppy
   in the floppy drive
2. Turn on computer   

Actual Results:  One or two lines (can't recall, and don't have system
here)
showing SYSLINUX  and "badly broken BIOS" and at that point
system is locked up

Expected Results:  kernel should load, and installation process should
start.

The BIOS on the FV24 (this is the flex-atx motherboard in
Shuttle's first small-form-factor bare-bones system) can't be
_that_ broken, can it?
