There is no direct command to reboot linux and then boot it to CDROM or floppy. There are 2 ways to solve your problem. First, reconfigure /etc/lilo.conf and indicate what file system to boot and be sure that your CDROM is mounted. Second and think the better one is to set where to boot on your CMOS setup and deleting all existing partitions to your hard drive. Format the MBR of your hard drive so that before you reinstall linux, it looks like your starting from scratch. Good luck
