I had both my DVD player and my CDR/DVD-R attached so I tried one at a 
time, it still would not boot.
For now I have DF running in a WMware session. And wow with this new 
machine, I don't even notice its running when i am using other apps in XP.

So for now, I'm going to just stick with the WM.

Matt,
 If its helpful to the project to get this machine to boot, I'm up for 
trying some more testing, like the kernel configs. I might need some 
hand holding to boot from the new kernel from a CD.

Thanks,
Dylan
