In DOS I find linld much easier to work with.

If you say you can boot to dos and "see" your cdrom then linld should be very easy.

For example on my system dos "sees" my cdrom drive as drive e:
Then by only having a small com file linld.com I can type at the dos prompt

linld image=e:\boot\isolinux\linux24 initrd=e:\boot\isolinux\minirt24.gz "cl=ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us"

Note the above line is one long line!
