The woody CD's I tried where SYSLINUX not ISOLINUX. The older
sarge-i386-netinst that do work are ISOLINUX. And it looks like the
same version (1.75) as the beta-1 which doesn't work.

On the ASUS mainboard where it doesn't work there is a AWARD BIOS, and
on the Sony notebook where it does work, there was a Phoenix BIOS.
Maybe we should just port LinuxBIOS to all possible mainboards, as
non-free BIOS'es are crap, and are not DSFG free either.
