Running 7.1 and trying to do clean install of 7.2. Downloaded both disc1 and bootonly iso files because the 7.2 release announcement says this. Note: late in the testing cycle it was discovered some machines do not recognize the i386 disc1 as bootable (they just fall through to booting off the next boot device). All affected machines did see the other discs as bootable. If you have a machine with that problem booting off either bootonly or livefs and then swapping in disc1 once sysinstall starts should work. In my case I have the described booting problem with both disc1 and the bootonly disk. Disc1 and bootonly cd are bootable on different computer so know they are good. Dead in the water, Help
