Yes. This week in fact. I just got an IDE-CDROM to replace my old mcd drive. When I used the old Boot-Disk, (I was doing a re-install), it gave me the error. I forgot that the old boot-disk that I had mad was for installing from an mcd drive, not a regular IDE-CDROM. Bottom line: Make sure the boot image you used to create your install-boot disk matches your hardware! Also, if you are using a non-standard location for hardware, give the parameters at the prompt. mcd's are usually located at 0x300, irq 10. Mine is at 0x340, irq 10, so I said mcd=0x340,10.
