Re: cannot find CD in /dev/hda



You should not have to do anything special.  I've booted 600E's and
many other ThinkPads straight from the CD without issue.

Easy things to try:

1) boot and check the CD: knoppix testcd
2) check that the downloaded image is good
3) burn another CD, slowly (<4x)

Good luck and be sure to let the list know how things go.
