(1) Can you boot from your Lubuntu Natty Alpha CDs on a different
machine? Just as a test that the CDs reall are bootable.
(2) If the machine concerned has a floppy drive, consider using Smart
Boot Manager to do an El Torito boot from a floppy (which then
loads the CD). I would be interested to know whether this works.
See http://btmgr.sourceforge.net for more about Smart Boot Manager.
(3) Do please try the very newest Lubuntu Natty 11.04 Alpha 3 CD, which
was announced today. I am not just saying this because I
created it :) I used a more automated ISO creation process than
was used for the other two CDs, so something *might* have changed
that could help your machine to boot from Alpha 3, especially
since my earlier alpha-20110228 ISO worked for you.
Thanks for testing, and for reporting this issue,
Jonathan
