This is what I would expect to happen...without a floppy (or other boot
device with a pkgpath.cfg file to override the syslinux.cfg setting), the
default CD-ROM image expects the CD to be on /dev/hda.  If it's not, and
there's no mountable boot device (ie no floppy in the drive), the normal LRP
search for a boot device takes over.  It will mount the first device it
finds a recognizable file-system on, which is probably your hard-disk on
/dev/hda, not the CD.

This is confusing...did you modify the CD image before burning it?  Which CD
image are we talking about here...

This should definately not happen...again, please provide details on the
image you're using.

There shouldn't BE a password, unless you're using the really old LRP-CD
based on Eigerstein, which was a snapshot of an internal version I made,
with the password of "changeme".
