On my web site, goto the firmware link.  Download the latest SMS.  Write
it to floppy.

Put it in the floppy drive (I hope you have one!).  Even if you don't,
try the F keys below.

Boot the computer.  Immediately after power on, start tapping F2 (or
maybe, F4, F5 or F8, I can't remember!).  It should take you into the
BIOS/CMOS setup type thing.

In there, set the boot device to CD.

If it was set to CD already, then your problem was elsewhere.  If it
boots from CD but fails after a while with an error code, you could have
faulty hardware.
