The magic word is "failsafe".. a failsafe boot will detect enough hardware to get the cdrom loaded, and X running, then you can move the install to the hard disk. it seems to run fine, for me, on a pair of toshiba satellite 330CDSs I got for xmas.

I have the same problem with my tecra 8000.

For me following cheatcodes are working:
"failsafe" and "dsl nopcmcia"
Then the disk is booting, but without pcmcia I have no access to my networkcard.

Well, is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Try adding "pci=biosirq"  to your boot command.

I have Packard Bell Easynote, and I've tried:
"dsl failsafe 2 pci=biosirq vga=normal"

and every other, but still doesn't boot(newest version), some older versions boot correctly..
