If you really can't boot from CD or floppy even after changing the BIOS
then... well, thats one busted computer. People here are obviously right
that failure to boot from floppy or CD is not a linux issue. The same
thing would happen if you were trying to install your new operating system
over Win98.
Seems to me the last ditch effort would be - yank the hard drive, stick it
into another machien that does boot from CD, install, put it back into
your server.
Or buy a new machine that does boot from CD.
Unfortunately, my installs of W2K server don't like it when the drive is
moved from install machine to different machine. Seems the main board
components give the O/S an issue and it won't boot.

Yeah... I haven't done it myself and was wondering whether this was true
a minute after I sent that. Well, my last piece of advice sounds like
the one he is following :)
