Boot Linux from DOS?

I have an old Sony Picturebook, PCG-C1X, and think it would be nice to run Linux since Win98 sucks and 2k/XP will probably blow it up. Anyway, the system is a sub-notebook, with a USB Floppy and a PCMCIA CD-ROM. The system boots fine from the floppy but it doesn't natively boot from the CD-ROM. I have a boot disk that essentially enables the card slot, then loads the drivers for the external CD.

Its taken me days to finally get the CD promt working, but I don't know where to go from here. For example, I would like to (or try to) get DSL loaded to see how it runs and possibly install it to the tiny 2GB drive.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
