You might try holding F8 or one of the higher numbered F keys and see if you get an option to boot to the CD-ROM drive. You could hold down F8 and if you hear the CD drive spin up, arrow down about 4 or 5 times and hit enter.

I have downloaded the three Shrike iso images and have burned each image to a CDR. When I boot up my laptop with CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive, the CD spins up, but as far as I can ascertain the Linux boot screen does not appear. Instead, my computer boots right up into Windows. My guess is that the BIOS needs to be set, but I'm not entirely certain if this is the case. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate them. My apologies if this has been brought up on this list before. If this is the case, feel free to reply to me privately. Thanks, Steve Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
