always occurs and is a warning thrown up by the timezone map screen. It is not
the cause of the problem you experienced.

Were you given the opportunity to write a floppy with the error?
Comment 2 Kevin Phua 2003-02-23 15:02:08 UTC 
No. After displaying the error message, the system ejects the CD and 
immediately reboots.
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2003-02-27 17:29:52 UTC 
Have you tested your installation media?
