The booting messages were:something like (this is an old copy):
Building the boot loader arguments
Relocating the loader and the BTX
Verifying DMI Pool Data
Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM:
CD Loader 1.2
Is there any way to get the new system (into a fresh slice) with
a boot
loader that works with my system? If not, what upgrades do I need and do
you know how to go about getting them?
You should be able to use the boot floppies to get your system booted into
sysinstall. From there you can use the CD to complete the install.
