Hi there!
Just wanted to put in the archives that with a WD600AB
Caviar 60GB drive I also had boot problems until I
found out how to set the drive to "single" boot mode.
The boot issues were exactly as in the instructions.txt.
Note also that on my original qube, the boot kernel
is vmlinuz.gz (not the z in vmlinuz), not vmlinux.
Not sure if this is an issue or not.
WD600 Caviar jumper settings reference:

Thanks for the great work on this CD!
Byron
p.s. I also used a VirtualPC on a mac to perform
the install from the CD image, which I know has
come up on this list in the past.
