It's all a matter of your BIOS.
Boot with a ( DOS or Windows ) floppy with CD-Rom support, on the RH
CD you will find a dir named dosutils, go there  ( cd dosutils ) and
start autoboot.exe or autoboot.bat ( com ). Just type autoboot and
enter, there you go!

Good Luck, we expect many more questions from you. :-)
