It's okay, I misstated it. Forget LOAD (My mistake), you
want DEVICE. Load is for something else. A braino on
my part (a braino is like a typo but it occurs higher
up in the cognitive chain <g>).

You need two lines, one in config.sys and the other in
autoexec.bat.

Let me suppose your CD driver is in a CDS directory
on your floppy disk. The disk will be a: when you
boot from it, so in CONFIG.SYS you want the line

DEVICE=a:\CDs\TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD0001

(if the driver is in the floppy root directory, make this
DEVICE=a:\TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD0001)

Now let me suppose MSCDEX is in the root directory of the
floppy. Then in AUTOEXEC.BAT you want the line

MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /V

/V is optional. It will just tell you what's happening
with your CD as you boot.

Try these and see if it works ok. You may have to
add some parameters to the DRIVER= line to configure
the driver (should be in the readme), but try without.

Once you've booted, see if you can access the CDROM.
Try D: and E:. D: should be the other hard drive
and E: the cd if you've done it right and I understand
your configuration. If not, you'll get an error
during bootup.
