I purchased a Net BSD 2.0 install cd and live cd from www.tecbits.com.au,
and I'm having trouble getting it to boot on my pc.  I have an Adaptec SCSI
controller card and a Plextor 40/12/40 R/RW CDROM drive.  I have other cds
which will boot on this machine. When I try to boot from either of the Net
BSD cds, the SCSI BIOS detects that there is a bootable cd in the drive, but
boots from the hard drive instead of the cd.

Is it likely that this combination of hardware is not supported by the boot
image on the cds?  If so, how could I best go about installing Net BSD 2.0
on my machine?
