problem, mind you, but your unit may just be plain broken if it's throwing
bus errors.
Or the terminator is bad, or if it's external, he's using an Iomega

Ugh. Are you sure the CD is good? Things that also
occur to me is a problem
with the controller.
I got it from ebay. It's not perfect, but I don't
see why it shouldn't work.
What should be happening here? Should the machine detect and just
boot off the cd-rom? Or do I have to do anything different than just
turn it on?
