Sorry for the delay. Here's what I've tried/found. |

I did another burn at a slower speed as you suggested. Prior to this I |
4 |
confirmed that the MD5Sum matched the one listed on the download site. |
5 |
The burn finished without error. Booting from the burnt CD failed in |
6 |
an identical manner as before. I also tried the same disk on an Indy, |
7 |
which also failed in an identical manner. On an Indigo2 it also |
8 |
failed, however since video wasn't working, I couldn't see the error. |
9 |
I believe it would have been the same. |
10 |
|
11 |
I also tried multiple CD-Rom drives (4 in total). This didn't have a |
12 |
noticable effect. |
13 |
|
14 |
Of interest is that the RC5 disk does boot perfectly, however since |
15 |
the ethernet driver in the RC5 build was messed up, I can't do |
16 |
anything usefull with it! |
17 |
|
18 |
Can anyone help? I would really like to get these machines functional! |

Thanks in advance. |
