OK, David. Thanks for the assistance. So, the moral of the story seems to be to create a separate cd room for booting using the boot.iso image which is to be found in the /images directory on disc 1 for situations where disc 1 will not boot. Of course, the real solution is to identify and remedy the reason that prevents booting on some systems. However, there is a procedural workaround which can be employed in the meantime.
