Then I chose the CD installation method. At this point it says that my device driver cannot be found, and gives me a number of different drivers to choose from including several different types of SCSI. I am just not sure which one I should use for the install.  It will not let me go beyond this step.  Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

He's not finding his CD/DVD device. But, you're right, sometimes
trouble-shooting with a shotgun has it's merits! He just may have to go
the route you suggested. :) Ric
