Bad boot disk for RH 6.1????????????



I get the boot screen with the prompt:
 
boot:
 
wether I just hit enter or I type expert and then press enter the following happens:
 
Loading initrd.img.................
            vm linuz ......
Boot failed: please change disks and press any key to continue.
 
Arrrrggghhh!!  Is this a bad boot disk?
 
So now I try to make a new boot disk....I need help here as well please!!
I have win98 on a 2GB partition.  I have a FAT16 2GB partition I am trying to put RH6.1 onto.
I also have an ATAPI CDROM that linux will not see no matter what I do even if I specify at boot with the following:  linux hdc=cdrom  so lost here.
So what I do is put my win98 boot disk in and start with CDROM support.
That is the ONLY way I can find out how to get to see the CDROM.
In MSDOS I go in there and go to dosutils and then use rawrite and the machine just sits there.
 
Please help!!!
 
Still trying to enter the Linux world and completely lost here.
