Comments/Problems:
On booting from cdrom, the boot first screen appears with the boot
prompt on pressing enter or choosing any flavor and press enter,
it says Loading ... initializing and then hangs for ever
I've tries the compact flavor, the bf24 and the default one.
all gives the same. I've 9 machines of this type 5 IDE HD and 4 with SCSI
hd and LSI raid controller.
2 of the IDE installation succeeded but the others gave the same hang
problem. My notice is the worked 2 has a special type of cdrom but the
other has different type.
