[WBEL-users] Inability to bootstrap CD on K6/2 350

Folks

I have successfully installed WBEL4 on several machines and like it.

I have an old K6-2 350 which was running WBEL3, and my attempts to boostrap 
the WBEL4 disk 1 fails.  I get the following:

   (Bootstrap)
   Welcome splash screen

   I type:
              linux text

   I see:

     loading vmlinuxz ...............................
     loading  ...................................

the computer then reboots itself and I get the initial cd splash screen 
again.



------------

I know the machine knows how to do CD-boots, because I successfully 
installed several other systems:
   UBUNTU
   Fedora core 4


The machine has:
  128megs memory
  30g hd
  40g hd (I intend combining them as a logical volume)
  Two NICs
The intended use of the machine is a command-line only Linux system, so I'm 
not worried about slow performance.

Any help?

David
