Ryan,
I am booting from the CD/DVD drive, with no OS installed. The installer will
run fine, until it checks for the multimedia devices. Than it says that the
the installer was unable to mount the device. If I add "hdc=ide-scsi" to the
install-gui line at the same point it says I have more than one CD/DVD drive
installed, though only one is in reality. So basically while in the
installer it cannot find the drive that the installer booted from.

Hope that helps because I am sunk and out of ideas.

Thanks,

Chadz
