I think I'm getting more confused with each new thing I learn.  I 
appreciate your help so far, and I understand a bit more of what's going 
on now.  But things are still not working the way I'd like them to.

I edited the scsi.disk file during image creation which properly created 
the .master script.  This script got linked properly to the names of the 
node when setting up the network boot.  viewing the contents of the master 
script show that the partitions are to be created on /dev/sdb as required, 
but that's where things go haywire.

During the pxe boot/image installation process the master script 
enumerates the disks and then tries to "partition" /dev/sda using dd, 
regardless of what the disk partition files says.

        >>> /scripts/h2.sh
 
        get_arch
        enumerate_disks
        sda
        sdb
        sdc
        DISKS=3
 
        Partitioning /dev/sda...
        Old partition table for /dev/sda:
        Error: Error opening /dev/sda: No medium found
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 ||shellout
        dd: /dev/sda: No medium found
        Killing off running processes.
 
        write_variables

And an excerpt from dmesg shows the detection of the CD-Rom.
