Comments/Problems:
The machine boots from the CD-ROM and lets me choose the language, country, and keyboard layout. The dialog box appears saying “Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives” and the gauge goes up to 100% and disappears, then after a pause of a few seconds, I get the error message:
=
[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM
Your installation CD-ROM couldn’t be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again.
Try again to mount the CD-ROM?

The disc is a CD-RW, in case it matters.
