After install (which appears to be successful), when I reboot it just sits there with a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen. I've tried this numerous times over the past couple months to no avail. Today, I tried another box using a 200GB Sata drive w/o RAID, and the exact same thing happens. I've tried all manner of things to no avail. If someone can shed some light on this issue, I would most appreciate it. Tks, Steve
