I don't have the floppy and when I start with the CD-rom it say that is not a boot disk!!
The Pc is a pentium 100.

Many older PC's don't support booting from the CD.
Put the CD in any system that's running, bring up a command prompt, navigate to the i386 directory, and...
if you're on an NT (or any 32 bit OS) box, run "winnt32 /ox" or,
on any 16bit platform, run "winnt /ox"
That will prompt you for, and create, the floppies you need. Make sure you have 3 good floppies before you run it.
Good luck,
Chase
