The CD drive in my U1 is dodgy at best; it usually takes several attempts to
get it to read CD-Rs, even good quality ones burnt slowly. I have never been
able to get it to boot off any CD; Solaris, Potato, or the netinst one that
you mention.
That particular one fails while loading SILO, looking something like this:
SILIllegal instruction
Some of the others I have tried give:
SILFast Instruction Access MMU Miss
I assumed that these were simply because of errors when reading the cd...
