Just hit Return when the kernel asks for a disk. I had a hard time
getting my SX164 to run last weekend, and I came across the same
obstacle. Just when I was too frustrated and hit return with no disk
but only the CD in it's drive, all went well :-)

There's still the Problem, that milo which gets loaded from a small
dos partition on the first drive refuses to load any kernel from the
first drive. (second drive, floppy, CD and ZIP all work with any
filesystem on them but trying to boot from the first drive [all SCSI]
it complains about invalid gzip format)

kind Regards,
