John,
Yes, everything is set up correctly in the BIOS.
On an attempted boot I get:
Hard Disk 1 Installed WDC WD75DA-00AWA1
Floppy A: Installed
Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W BIOS v1.21
(c) 1995 Adaptec, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
<<< Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect(tm) Utility! >>>
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 0:0 - SEAGATE ST51080N - Drive 82H
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 5:0 - TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3701TA
=================================================================
A BOOTABLE CD-ROM IS DETECTED IN YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE...
=================================================================
The boot sections on your bootable CD-ROM are:
0. DEFAULT ENTRY
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 6:0 - SONY SDT-5000
BIOS Installed Successfully!
Then it just sits there.
Seems it knows a bootable CDR is present, but doesn't know what to do with
it.

Good Folks,
I'm trying to install Fedora Core 2 over RH9.
My machine can read the CD's, but can't boot from them.
Yes, they were copied as iso disk images not as a single file.
Can I boot from a floppy to start the install?
If so, where can I get an image to load onto floppy.
My installation skills seem to have turned newbie.
I'm a long time, 10 years, Red Hat user, but haven't had to re-install in a
long time.
Thanks for any help or URL's you point me to.
Tom
Tom~
If the iso's are images, then check to see if your BIOS is set to boot from
cd. I just finished a 'fresh install' of FC2 over a previous Linux install,
and it was fine.
