sarge netinst cd not bootable in ia64

[Jens Krause <jens.krause@fh-kiel.de>]

Hallo,

I need your help: I have a Dell PowerEdge 2800 that has an Intel 64 bit
architecture (Xeon): I downloaded debian-31r0a-ia64-netinst.iso burned
the CD (using cdrecord) but the BIOS does not recognise its as a
bootable CD. I verified several times that the downloaded iso image is
complete. Any ideas? The boot process is different on ia64 than on a
i386 but that seems to be taken care of in the Debian image (according
to the documentation ). I got Fedora Core 4 running (but that is not to
my taste).

Thanks in advance,

Jens
