Well, to make this a bit more depressing, I burned the ISO image using
Adaptec's "Easy CD Creator" on an NT machine around here, and I got
exactly the same behavior -- fine image, no booting. (Same ATAPI CD-RW
drive.)
Which makes me begin to wonder about the image...
Anyway, the next steps are to bring in my Philips SCSI CD-R and give
things a whirl. On a Mac, with Windows, and with FreeBSD.
I'm still looking for someone who's successfully booted from this
image.
