A bit more about that previous post. I got the error with the release disc, but not with the beta disc. The beta installation ran to completion. However, it would not boot.

While troubleshooting I noticed that my CD-ROM was on the primary controller and the one IDE drive was on the secondary, and I had read somewhere that such configurations will not boot, so I swapped them. It still wouldn't boot, so I tried installing the beta again. This time I *did* get the "insert disc" message.

Somehow the difference between being on the primary and secondary IDE controller made a difference, at least for the beta installation.
