What finally worked made little sense, but it worked. I changed the default boot command to "cdrom", and simply typed "boot". I know, I know, this is "the same thing", but it worked the first time with the cdrom as the default device. All I had to do was choose "s" for scsi when the prompt came and I got the install screen instead of init errors. Of course, I did have to take the cd out and reset the default to disk on reboot. I have a second 600LM and it reacted exactly the same way... Good luck.
