Sorry, I have HS21's, but I've never tried booting native on them.
Part of the problem will no doubt be that the CDROM is over a USB and
seems to be flakey even when installing certain Linux distros. My
solution (and the easiest path here) is to just use a virtualization
environment on the blades (or other hardware).
