I have a similar problem -- I've reset the bios boot settings in an
older system I'm working on, but most of the time it thinks there is not
cdrom at all in there, and so boots (grub takes over here, in my case
-- but sometimes it *does* boot the CD).  Is there any hardware magic I
can do without messing up this system worse, or is there some grub-ly
magic to get a prompt then force it to boot from cdrom?  BTW, this box
has the avg config of one cdrom, one hard drive, and one floppy (which I
haven't tried at all!). I think dust accumulated in the drive is my
enemy here...  any tips?

regards and thanks a bundle,

   Ben

PS - TCT, The Coroner's Toolkit, is the major forensics package that
comes with PLAC (the Portable Linux Auditing CD)... I hadn't played with
PLAC for a good while, and when I did get this system to boot I forget
where to find that -- I don't think it is in the default path, but you
just go to /tct-x.y.z/ and there is all is.  For those of you who are
interested in the tools themselves:
