Booting off CD or Floppy on Gateway Color Book 2

[ComputerFreak]

OK. I have a Gateway ColorBook 2 (specs:

with a Panasonic KXL-D720 PCMCIA CD drive.

My problem is that I cannot get the ColorBook to boot off of either the PCMCIA CD drive, which it should be able to because there is an option in the BIOS to, or from a boot floppy to go to the PCMCIA floppy drive. I have tried Rawrite, but it doesn't work. I am trying to run Knoppix or Peanut Linux, and as far as I'm aware, there are no pre-made, especially offical, boot disks for them.

Thanks in advance!

Will another machine boot off the CD?

And will the computer boot off any other CD or floppy?

I don't believe so, and I was trying to make use of them; I have two, and neither work.
