Dear Chris,
Probably your BIOS does not support booting from CD-ROM, you will have
to write the floppy disk boot image to a floppy disk using Rawrite for
DOS, Rawritewin or dd if you are using a Linux/BSD hosted system and
boot your 486dx2 from that floppy disk.
I installed FreeDOS 1.0 full on a Pentium 133 Mhz with Phoenix BIOS. It
does not support booting form CD-ROM ether (because the BIOS frimware is
too outdated). Even if your BIOS settings menu provides the option to
boot from CD-ROM, this does not meant that it will actually work.
The boot floppy disk is your friend ;)
