 ...which means I guess that the kernel has successfully booted off the CD and
has initialized the LCD driver. I'd also guess that Ethernet led is blinking
while /dev is being created; it may take awhile. Once this is done, the system
will resume the bootstrap process, and eventually installation status should
appear on the LCD screen.  I'd suggest to let the box run for another 5-10
minutes and see what happens.

 Yes it should work, but it's never been tested with 2700.

 The kernel seems to boot off the CD, so obviously your hardware is ok. It's
really hard to tell what's wrong without console output :(
