Thank you. That works. I haven't run SETUP yet but your commands do indeed mount the ISO as X:.
In fact what I did is to boot the CD and look for the the SHSUCD* files, at which point I noticed the FREEDOS and DRIVER directories which were missing from the boot floppy. So I copied them to the floppy and booted the laptop from it. The menu which is displayed still didn't work though, so I had to type your commands. At the moment I have no time for troubleshooting but when I do how do I file a bug report?

You'll need at least the SHSUCDX and SHSUCDHD programs to access the ISO's contents: SHSUCDHD /F:C:\FDBOOTCD.ISO SHSUCDX /D:SHSU-CDH,X X: SETUP I thought the bootdisks would be a bit more complete instead of only a kernel.
