Trying to BOOT CD from MS-DOS Start-Up Floppy

AS it turned out, we set the bios for the CD-ROM to start FIRST, and
that
did the trick after numerous tries...

Apparently, the CD-ROM didn't jive with the command....it's old and
probably worn-out...

NO, we were just wondering IF an MS-DOS floppy 'can indeed' help BOOT
a CD...
..guess not!

No it can't Booting is a function of the BIOS. If the BIOS is set to boot
from the CD first, it will; if it isn't, it won't. The diskette drive isn't
involved at all, and whatever kind of floppy you may have in it or not is
irrelevant.
