This occures if the system does not find any device to boot from. Make
sure You have set the cdrom to boot in the open rom.

Is the harddisk to be seen in the bios?

I take it that the CDROM is set to boot as the it started the install on
the old drive.

I have no idea, how to get into the Bios, I have never needed to before
now. All I have is a box which I telnet into. Thats as far as my
knowledge on them goes

I tried them all F1, Enter, pressing "4" numerous times which then
starts to print thousands of characters to the screen, then ....... hangs
