RE: configure alternate installation device

Steve,

It sounds like the system once had a tape drive attached to it, but I think
by default it should default to the CD drive. Another possibility may be the
CD doesnt have a BOF/EOF marker on it. I had something like this happen in
the past. While reading the CDs, it failed. I called IBM and they said that
the CD was bad because it couldnt find the markers on it. They sent me
another set and it worked fine.
