From your description it sounds like you're not even getting to the point where you need the CD yet. After pressing ENTER at the boot: prompt, you should see a bunch of messages scroll by. The last line or two before it freezes will probably be the pertinent lines. Email those to the list (not to me) and we can go from there.
