Arse! That'll teach me to read more carefully - it hadn't registered that
you were running the install from boot floppies rather than booting from
the
CD drive. Sorry.
I know it means spending money but wouldn't it just be easier to change the
mobo or CD ROM? Is it definitely the mobo that won't boot from CD ROM? What
motherboard / processor / memory do you have? Is the CD ROM a bootable
ATAPI
drive? (I have one IDE CD ROM drive that just isn't bootable from no matter
what mobo you stick it on.) Maybe I might have something here in the parts
pile that would help?
