So it boots from the floppy, but not from the CDrom.
That probably means the problem is not in BL2.  It more 
likely has something to do with the way the CDrom boots.

And there is a potential fishhook.  I know very little
about bootable CDroms, but I seem to recall something 
about them loading an image (2.88mb?) into RAM.  So, if 
you have the video grabbing RAM and the CDrom grabbing 
RAM and loadlin grabbing RAM, something might go wrong.
