Running AdvancedCD with Boot Floppy

Hello,
 
I tried running the AdvancedCD on my computer at home and I cannot seem to
get it to boot from the CD.  I have tried the actual CD in a different
machine (at work) and it does boot and load correctly, so it is not my CD
specifically.
 
I thought that rather than trying all sorts of combinations that I would
just boot with a floppy and load it from there -- seemed simple enough.
 
I booted my computer using a DOS Boot disk (with access to the CD drive),
but when I run the "Loadlin" option using the same parameters as found in
the Autoexec.bat file, the system hangs.
 
I don't have much experience using Linux so I don't know if I am missing
something simple, or complex?
 
Anyone have any suggestions?  I just want to start the system on floppy and
then switch over the CD and carry on.
 
Thanks,
 
Hugh
