Comments/Problems:
I have attempted to install a Debian 3.1 system using both the AMD64 and
i386 netinst/minimal CDs. In both cases, the system stops as soon as it
attempts to boot from the CD (as in, I get left at the BIOS' "Boot from
CD:" message, with a blinking cursor). I have tried re-burning the CDs,
with verification turned on, three times but to no avail. Both Ubuntu
Breezy i386 and DesktopBSD 1.0RC3 i386 installed fine a little while
ago, so I don't think it is a hardware issue.
My CD/DVD drive is a Liteon DVDRW SHW-1635S with firmware revision
YS0Q.
