Hit the "Enter" key.

Or type in "knoppix" (without the quotes) and then press the "Enter" key.

Also, if you get a blank screen then, try again, and when "boot" comes up, immediately type "knoppix" (just the k will hold the boot up for you).
boot: knoppix vga=normal
The vga=normal should stop you from going to a blank screen.
