This is the exact reason why I have kept my trusty DOS 6.x boot disk
around for about 5 or so years now.  The only major change I've made
to it in that time, is just swapping out CD-ROM drivers when I changed
hardware.  If you like I can email you the whole disk zipped up. All
you'll have to do is add your own specific CD-ROM driver.
