I have an ASUS A8V motherboard with an AMD64 3800. I have a DVD writer attached to the ATA bus and two SATA disk drives. On my x86 box (5.4), I download the 6.0 RC1 ia64 disc ISO images and burn them onto CD-ROM. I then take the new CD-ROM and put it in the ia64 drive. The system starts the boot process (with boot drive set to the DVD writer), but errors out and asks me to insert a valid boot drive. What have I done wrong here? /Joe
