It is a really tricky issue: I booted from CD without the errors, on the first try. Then, after the installer routine loads (flawlessly), that program then reads the first data from the CD - flawlessly... remember the initrd you mentioned? It came from the CD, as I am not using a floppy to boot with. Really odd...
