CDROM: Installation works - Boot does not

The installation of a CD-ROM connected to a sound card (Mozart and similars) works. If one wants to boot the just installed system the CD-ROM drive (thus resulting the file system) is not detected anymore.

The problem is that the sound card was initialized using DOS. This obviously does not work under Linux as the corresponding sequences of the manufacturer are unknown.

To solve the problem, you must either boot using loadlin (under DOS), or boot DOS (according to it a warmstart is enough) and then boot Linux.

Authentic Soundblaster cards should cause no problems at all.
