Cannot boot nahant

["Gerald J. Hopkins" <jerry idaccr org>]

Hi,

I have an older system that fails when trying to boot
nahant beta 1 or beta 2 from cdrom ("boot fails").

This seems like a bug to me because:

   1) The cdroms in question can be used to boot and 
      install nahant on other x86 systems.

   2) The system in question can boot from cdrom using other 
      versions of redhat (7.3, 8.0, 9.0, ws 3.1) and other 
      distro's (mandrake 10, debian stable woody 2.6.7-1-386).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
