Re: SS10 not booting off internal hard drive
You need to do a little debugging to figure it out. Maybe you don't

disks showing up as /dev/sda? Or maybe that was just a typo. Boot
the CDROM and check /boot and / to see what they have in them.

You don't want to boot the CD? How are you installing the software
then?
