Come to mention it, I've had problems with the potato boot disk too, on a Toshiba 490CDT. It won't boot off the CD, just doesn't see it, if I recall correctly. Other CDs (e.g. slink, what I originally installed Debian off) boot fine, so I thought it might have just been a poor quality CD. But when I checked it on someone else's computer, it booted fine on their computer. Strange.
