I 'm trying to install 2.1.6 on a system at work which has a Mitsumi IDE CD-ROM. The drive is found during the system probe. However, after sysinstall makes the new filesystems, the CD-ROM drive will read the first 1024 bytes of the bin distribution on the CD and then stop. Any help would be much appreciated. The system is a Digital Venturis with a Pentium 90, two IDE controllers (the Mitsumi is a slave on the 1st), two IDE drives, and a 3Com Etherlink III.
