Situation: I've got a PWS 433au (Miata) on which I've been trying to do
a "from scratch" install of Lenny. (See the gory details on
debian-alpha). To make a long story short, I had reason to try and
replace the existing CD-ROM drive with a CD-RW burner, and the Alpha
refused to boot. I couldn't even get the power-up diagnostics to run.
I put the original CD-ROM drive back in the system (and removed the new
one). Result: everything works correctly.
Is SRM really that picky about the optical drive? Or did I simply
install a defective drive (not likely, but I'll consider the
possibility)?
