Your kernel is hanging himself when trying to access the harddisk and the CD-ROM simultaneously. There's a boot-time option to work around the problem, but it slows your harddisk access down quite a lot. I don't exactly remember what the option is, but you should be able to find it in the archives of the m68k-build list, which you can find through http://www.nocrew.org Rg, -- wouter at grep dot be "Human knowledge belongs to the world" -- From the movie "Antitrust"
