Sounds like some sort of configuration problem, or possibly a 'hidden'
error, like a CR-LF in a script file somewhere instead of just LF, or
perhaps a misplaced quote or something, except for the fact that backing up
to floppy fixes things. There should be NO difference between booting with
etc.lrp just on the CD-ROM, and having etc.lrp on the floppy as well.
One good test would be to copy the etc.lrp from the CD straight to the
floppy. In a sane universe, this should produce the errors you see when
booting from the CD. If not, there's something quite odd going on. About
the only thing I can think of that could even cause something like this
would be running out of memory when extracting LRP files from the CD, but in
that case, backing up should NOT fix the problem...
Also, please provide more details about the IPChains errors, and any log
messages that might be relavent. They might shed some light on what's
actually going on...
