Bug Description
Booting the new 7.10 rc cd. works on one computer, but not on the other one. Other boot cds work fine. Boot fails directly after cdrom spins up: boot from atapi-cd rom: boot failure.
Swapping the cdrom-drives between machines changes nothing.
Specs of the machine not able to boot the cd:
P II Klamath on ATC-6130 Mainboard
If you need more info let me know.
Another user on ubuntuusers.de reported the same problem with a laptop.
He found a workaround using a bootable floopy disk and choosing cdrom from the menu of the floopy disk. Will try that when I find a still usable floopy disk ;)

Using a sbootmgr.dsk bootdisk and then booting the cd from the floppy menu worked.
