Knoppix and an old Dell
Sorry if this post is in the wrong location. I'm trying to pull some files off of an old Dell box. I've not been able to get it to boot off of the HD, so I tried to use Knoppix. At boot time; I get the following error:
Loading spec packet failed, trying to wing it
isolinux 2.04: failed to locate cdrom; boot failed.
I imagine the problem is somewhere in the BIOS. Is there anything specific I should be looking for? I've already enable CD-ROM boot option in the bios. I can post the specs of the PC later this evening.

SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8) systemd-efi-boot-generator SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.
systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].
