Hmmm... since the boot disk was produced by Red Hat i would like to know
if you guys at RH have any thoughts on this problem:

The installation boot disk freezes, at one point (after looking for the
CD-ROM and finding it).   I looked at the other virtual consoles and  the
one on F4 shows that my Adaptec 2940 was recognized with no problem, as
well as the HD, and the CD-ROM.  It also saw my current 3.0.3 partitions
on the HD.
	But on the other console, this is what I get:

* ... [previous stuff] ...
* creating directory /tmp rc = -1
* creating directory /tmp/rhimage rc = 0
* makeing device /scd0 (11,0) as /tmp/scd0    (That's my CD-ROM)
* calling mount (/tmp/scd0, /tmp/rhimage, iso9660, -1058209791, (nil))
* removing device file /tmp/scd0
* error in exec of second stage loader :-(
	error: Permission Denied.

Why does it remove the cd-rom drive device file?  what is the permission
denied for?  The CD-ROM i am using is one that i recorded myself from the
rh4.0  disttribution from the ftp site.  I can access the contents of the
CD-ROM with no problem from RH 3.0.3 (as root only).
	This is happening to me with all the boot disks i found in the
redhat ftp site.
	Any help appreciated...  thanx.
