D*mnSmallLinux only works on some of them when you use the syslinux version.
I've also had luck with using SBM ( http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html) to get older machines to boot from CD-ROM. You need either an SBM boot floppy or to install SMB to the MBR. It wouldn't work with an original 2x CD-ROM in a Toshiba Sat.Pro laptop, but did work in the same madchine with a 4x module, so it isn't always the BIOS that causes the troubles, too.
