Start the Install using GUI:
1. Turn on the server and insert the Red Hat Linux installation media bootable
CD-ROM.
2. The system will display a text menu. If you are installing to a Promise FastTrak
card, type:
expert ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14 ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0

the installation media may have been damaged or scratched, this may be a good
