If you do have ATA-66 you have to use the rawwritewin.exe in the dosutils
directory and choose the cdrom.img file when it prompts you in the images
directory. Then use that disk to boot with and your install should go
well... at least it worked for me.

Do you have an ata66 controller/drive? I think you need to download a
test kernel to try to get it installed.
