This really sounds like the problem I had installing OpenVMS on my
VS4000/VLC. I've got a 4x external CD-ROM that I bought new years ago for
my PowerBook 520c. Everything loves this CD-ROM (including lots of VMS
systems), yet when I tried to install VMS on the VLC using it, I had
nothing but troubles.
