For what it's worth, I noticed that a number of reports, including mine, were loading Edgy 386 CDs on AMD64 systems. So, to rule that out configuration set out of the bug, I downloaded the AMD64 desktop iso to see if I would experience the identical bug.
I did. I booted in to default and Safe Graphics mode, removing "quiet" and "splash" and choosing the VGA 16 option. But, I ended up with the same black screen at the same point. It was worth a shot. They say that failed bug tests can be just as valuable as successful ones, right? :) LOL.
