]]>First, I have 2 computers side by side one is an AthlonXP and the other is a Compaq DP4000 with a PII in it. The computer I'm having trouble booting from in the Compaq.
I just installed Mandrake 10 on the Compaq the other day and I can boot a Dyne:Bolic Live CD in it so I know the CD is before the hard disk in the boot order and you can indeed boot from the CD.
I tried the Arch CD in my Athlon system and it boots just fine but it just won't boot on the Compaq.
Two questions:
What could be causing this?
Can i use the other linux system (Mandrake) to start the Arch install process on the CD? I looked around a bit but didn't find anything that looked like a setup command.
