Many thanks for this Brian,
It's made me see that I was at fault by not simply making a /boot slice
to avoid the misplacement of the boot files. I've obviously been using
grub/x86 for too long.
I'd still rather install over the network but that's a different
problem. At least I can now execute a perfect install from a CDROM.
However, on first boot:
"Fast Data Access MMU Miss"
It never rains, but pours... Back to x86 and grub I think.
