: Hmm.  This looks much less good.

I had EXACTLY the same problem trying to install off a Sony ATAPI
cdrom drive. (in my case the CDROM was on the secondary IDE controller)
I rapidly gave up and installed over NFS.
The good news was that I had little problem actually getting the CDROM
to work (data & audio) once I had the system installed and running.
