G'day Ron,
     I think that the project you are looking for is "Smart BootManager" 
(SMB) -  the project homepage is ...
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/>

     The last time that I tried it (on a boot floppy), it did allow booting 
from CDs on older BIOSs that did not support CD-ROM booting - very useful.

     WARNING!  The project seems to now be defunct, but the GPL source and 
binaries are still available.

HTH
