Comments/Problems:
It couldn't find the CD (MATSHITA CDRW/DVD UJDA740) or drivers for the
it. I found that strange since it booted off of the CD! There was a
page of optional modules I skipped then loaded others and after that
worked, the CD was detected. But the HD wasn't. It wouldn't let me
partition the drive or mount the partitions. I don't know what happened
here.
