Those #'s are normal, it should print two lots of them, approx 100 each
time (one lot for the initrd, and one lot for the kernel).

Ok, just wasn't sure.

Thats a new one to me, can you confirm the md5 of the iso matches?

---
MD5 sums match up.

Since hardware is aparently touchy on these machines, does anyone know if it has issues with IDE hardware?  The scsi disk that was in it was burnt out, so I took out all the scsi items and put in ide that I know was functional.  They are all identified right when milo does the "show" for them.  Of, maybe I don't have the memory in the right bank.  Maybe I didn't have the right look on my face when I pushed the power button.  Sorry, sarcasm is about all I have to go on at this point. ;)

Nope, thats the correct iso and boot command, which should work just fine on Ruffian.

Oh well, thanks for all your help, regardless.  I got farther than I ever thought I would.
