It (4.5-RC1 cdboot disk) boots fine on:

Sony VAIO SR-27 (laptop) (installation fine too)
ASUS P2L97 
ASUS K7V (all IDE)
Tyan Thunder K7 (all SCSI)
IBM ThinkPad T23

I could not get it to boot on my ASUS K7M (AMIBIOS dated 11/01/99).
This computer (all SCSI, AHA2940U2W) has two CD-drives, a Yamaha
CD-writer and a Pioneer DVD.  From either one, a 4.4-RELEASE CD
boots. I tried all sorts of stuff like changing the boot order in
the BIOS and setting the SCSI boot device. It recognizes that 
there's a bootable CD in the machine but won't boot from it.

A BIOS update might change this. I've never been sure I could do
this safely.
