Help please FC2 boots from the Mashita DVD multi drive but after I specify

Did you do an MD5SUM and Media check on the disks? The command line 'cdnodma' may also help here. Also making sure the hardware configuration is correct can also help.


I have burned 3 of them, and it has been suggested that the installation
program lacks a driver for the mashita.

Not unless it's SCSI. If it's standard ATAPI, is hooked up correctly, and you have a decent motherboard that does I/O properly that suggestion is wrong.


Can anyone tell me an alternative method to install FC2?


Yes, but that kind of stuff gets very complicated.

Can I strongly suggest you check the archives of this list as your problem has been covered quite a few times before...
