I have also seen problems similar to this. With my system I could start
the install on either drive, but had to complete it with the cdrom drive
and not the burner in all cases. I moved the jumpers on the drives and
tried again with the reult being it would look for the CD in the burner.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is looking for the CD
in the IDE master and not the slave. Is it possible that the installer
epxects to find the CD mounted on the master and not the slave?

I have a DVD drive and a CD burner drive. I started the install on the DVD
because the read speed is a little faster. It booted from it fine and
installed from #1. Finished #1 and asked for #2... put #2 in and it
finished from #2 and asked for #3. Put #3 in, and it started giving
abort/retry/ignore errors on every file.
I aborted and started over.
Second time through, same ... until I noticed that when it asked for #3 and
I clicked on the EJECT button on the dialog box (first time through I had
ejected using the button on the DVD drive instead of the mouse button), it
slid the carrier for the *CD burner drive* out instead of the DVD drive that
I had started the install with.
I put #3 in the CD burner drive and continued, and it finished the install
of #3, #4, and #5 all using the CD burner.
Somehow the install got confused and switched drives in the middle of the
install. I've never seen *that* happen before!
