[Aurora-sparc-user] Aurora 2.98 CD install , CD Not Found .

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, all.

I have an SS20 with two processors.  The 2.99 image boots, and loads
the esp driver.  The installer then searches for a CD to install  from
and fails, spitting my CD out.

Did any one manage to get to the bottom of this?

Cheers,

Chris.
