[Cialug] raid arrays

[Dan Hockey]

I tried it again and it gave me the same error...
Retry EL TORITO.
Retry EL TORITO.
Hard stop.
And that's were it crashs. What could be so hard about trying to boot from
this iso? Could it be I used Nero to burn the cd? It booted from the windows
install cd just fine.

~  I probably have a smartstart CD image that would work for you...  Or
just download it from:
