Just for kicks, take the CD-ROM out of the drive and reboot and see if you get
any farther. Also, if you're up to it, the next step might be to open up the
case and unplug the CD drive's power and data cable and try booting like that.
Of course, this won't help you get the system installed, but it might help
provide a clue as to what's going wrong.
