CD boots after selection on boot menu but later installation cannot locate CD

I am booting with Smart BootManager 3.7 release 1 from a floppy disk 
and trying to then boot from a CD (first the Linux From Scratch 
LiveCD, then the SuSE 9.3 Installation CD).

My machine is an IBM Aptiva 2161-C8F, a Pentium MMX 166 MHZ, with 
64MB RAM, 3249MB & 341MB Hard Disks and a Hitachi CDR-8130 CD-ROM 
Drive.

Booting with the btmgr floppy disk brings up a menu including the CD-
ROM Drive.  I can select the CD-ROM Drive and booting into Linux 
proceeds a fair ways when either the Linux From Scratch LiveCD or the 
SuSE 9.3 Installation CD has been placed in the CD-ROM Drive.

However, with both CD's, the boot process gets to a point where it 
needs to locate the installation CD, and in both cases it cannot 
proceed because it cannot locate the proper CD.  It appears that the 
CD-ROM Drive is located (CD-ROM Drive light flashes) but the CD is 
not recognized to be the correct CD.

I believed I did not need to set the I/O Ports for the CD-ROM Drive 
because it was found and displayed by btmgr on the boot menu, and the 
CD is read as the boot process begins in both cases.  Is my 
assumption correct?

Any suggestions why the CD is not recognized as the CD the boot 
process is trying to locate for both cases?

SuSE 9.3 displays the message: "Could not find the SUSE Linux 
Installation CD."

A portion of the output of the boot process for the LFS LiveCD is 
below concluding with: "I couldn't find an LFS LiveCD in any drive!!"

Thanks,

LFS LiveCD boot output shows boot begins from CD, and CD-ROM is 
recognized by Linux, but later the expected CD is not recognized as 
being in the CD-ROM Drive:

...

hdd: HITACHI CDR-8130, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

...

hdd: ATAPI 16X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, DMA
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

...

Searching for the CD named lfslivecd-x86-6.1.1-3...
ide-cd: cmd 0x28 timed out
hdd: DMA interrupt recovery
hdd: lost interrupt
/dev/hdd: Volume ID is
This is not the correct CD. Moving on...
I couldn't find an LFS LiveCD in any drive!!
