There are often floppy images (often stored in a directory called images :) ).
There will usually be a program called rawrite.exe (or rawrite2.exe) to write these images to a floppy disk (often stored in a directory called dosutils or similar).
Use it to write one called something like cdrom.img or boot.img and see if you can boot from floppy.
There might also be a bios setting for booting from CDROM that you have to set.
I find that a generic extended svga often tends to work with monitors (although I can not be held responsible if you blow up your monitor etc....). Play around with a few of the generic ones see if any work well.
