Does this mean that there are installable ISOs or that one has to have an
already working install to be able to install anything?  Or, more simply, is it
now installable on a flat machine?

Attempting to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 fails on most obvious paths:
1) Boot from CD1.  <Enter>.  Black screen and hang.
2) Boot from CD2.  <Enter>.  Black screen and hang.
3) Boot from CD1:
    text: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    vgahi: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    vgalo: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    linux: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
    alt1: loads kernel image.  "Ready." and hang.
4) All of items under #3, with option "mem=800M".
5) All of items under #3, with option "mem=200M".
6) Boot from floppy, repeat #3, #4, and #5.

I wasn't able to try booting from floppy intending to install from HD since the
instructions for doing so appear to have been well hidden.

Hardware:
    Gigabyte GA-7VRXP (rev. 1.0, BIOS F11)
    AMD Athlon XP 1800+
    2 x 512MB DDR/266 ECC SDRAM DIMMs
    MSI GF4 Ti 4800, 8xAGP, 128MB
    Adaptec AHA-2940UW
        Pioneer DVD-305S
        Pioneer DVR-104
        [other SCSI devices]
    SB Audigy Platinum

CDs's MD5 ckecksums are correct.
