	Maybe I was not clear. I boot up with cd1 of debian and my bios 
is set to boot from a cd and it does. I get a crude page on the monitor 
that tells me this cd can be used as a rescue device. To install just 
hit enter.

	I hit enter and I see a kernel start to load, and then the 
screen goes blank. 

	The next time I pressed all the function keys and tried several 
special boot parameters but none of those worked either. I guess the 
next step is to make a darn floppy and see if I can see anything that 
loads!
