You have been bitten by the buggy Western Digital scsi chip. I have the same 
problem when I try and install Debian on my A3000. Have tryed two different 
age/brand scsi cdrom's (one being my 4x CDRW from the pc) and have this 
problem. It's a SCSI dissconnect/timing problem within the chip. The fix is to 
replace the scsi chip with a newer version or use a scsi on a accel card.

I'm going to have to try and get the scsi module on my Cyberstorm going (need 
to do the INT2 hack) so I can install Linux.
