So, I'm thinking I've got this 8Meg NEC Versa 2405CD laptop,
that has a bad battery, but otherwise seems fine, that is
a FINE candidate for an install of the newly downloaded LM8.0.
So, boot from cd, select the 'doit' option (<hit enter>), and
it starts booting. It uncompresses the ramdisk, does a little
with Net stuff, then says:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

Alt f3 tells me, at the end:
* AUTOMATIC: parameter cdrom for method means returning CDROM drive
* have to insmod ide-cd
* needs cdrom

Anybody have a clue? I'm certainly clue challenged...
