I get failures like this as well using -boot c, though -boot d works.
What do the c and d stand for? I had assumed (presumably incorrectly)
that c=CD and d=disk.

I got the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-05-20 ISO to boot, though it fails early in
the boot process saying that it can't find the knoppix partition. The
lnx-bbc rescue CD (version 2.1) seemed to boot properly, but it
segfaulted in the later stages of the boot process.

I also tried a self-built OpenBSD 3.4 CD, though it complains relatively
early in the boot process that it can't find /dev/console. I've got a
few versions of Windows kicking around too - I'll give them a shot
shortly.

Thanks
Leigh
