I'm not sure exactly then, but in the syslog the cdrom is not found (scanned) and without the trickery I mentioned the base install fails, which according to the syslog is because apt can't find the packages (which makes sense since it has no sources of packages at that point). I can't be more specific because I the systems I installed are now in use. Beside the syslog the other clue the cdrom isn't being scanned is that the prompt for a successful scan and do you want another never comes up.
