i looked at the devalias and it said that the
cd-rom is set for drive 0 and i had the jumper on the cd-rom set for slave
i set the jumper to master and now the cd boots but now i get a kernel panic and
the unit reboots?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, Stew -
but you might try
going into Open Firmware (start the computer, listen for the boing, hit
option-command-O-F simultaneously) and type devalias to see what 'cd' is
aliased to - write back on what it is. We may be able to detect
something wrong.

That's a new one. We've had others with those machines that would get a kernel panic at boot, but I don't think I've seen anyone with the probelm as you describe it. Is is possible that the burn was bad in some way?
There should be new ISO's coming out pretty soon, with a new kernel and boot setup, which may solve your issues.

What kind of machine? Is the CD drive IDE or SCSI? It may be that
the
Open Firmware device is not "cd" on your machine.
