out of ideas on the epia m9000

[jak]

well i cant get a cdrom to boot to install an os onto a hdd on my new epia m9000 board, tried with a cdrom and hdd on same channel, gives me error saying cannot boot media, media error, both with a suse and a winme disk, tried it with a different dvd drive on the same channel, tried dvd drive on a different channel as hdd, same thing, tried with just dvd drive, no hdd, still no luck, does anyone have any ideas ????

HOLY COW, nevermind, turns out both the suse disk and teh winme cdrom are both bad, or both require a floppy to boot, hahaha just popped a mandrake disk in and up it goes, wooh!
