Do you have another disk with system files on it that you can use as a
boot disk?

Has anyone seen this before?
Yes.
The dvd/cd are on a separate ide motherboard header from the hard

If you have a spare drive with a boot partition on it, then you can plug
it into the appropriate header and see if the system boots from the
drive.
You said earlier that it was booting from a cd, so that would indicate

What version of nix are you using?
You must have an ide header for your cd to work. I could be wrong but
