other way around:

instead of trying to fix the cdrom boot issue, according to
http://lab.dyne.org/Docking i could copy /dyne directory on C:\
partition where unfortunately winXp resides. then booting up with
dynebolic, it should detect that directory before trying to mount the
cd-rom where obviously my cd-rom is too slow to answer? or am i
wrong?

does anyone have an experience in trying that?

thanks for help
