I don't think you're doing anything wrong.  The ISOLINUX thing is the
very first thing displayed when the CD boots.  After a while, you should
be shown the installation screen.  The "boot:" prompt should be at the
bottom of that screen.

If the system hangs before you're shown the installation screen, you
have more serious issues.  In that case, I'd download something called
the "Ultimate Boot CD" (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/), burn it to a
CD and run some of the diagnostics on that--especially the memory tests.
