The install booted from the CD. Is it possible for it to see the drive and
then lose site of the drive?
Earlier I had tried to use Knoppix to figure out what the network card was,
without opening up the box. Knoppix was unable to find a file system. I
wondered if this box had something special done to it to make messing with
the drive harder, but I was able to erase the partition tables and later
install RH 7.0 from an old CD set, so I don't think it's the CD or the hard
drive.
