Can't install (mounting CDROM0 locks system)

[enginedoll]

Installing with 1.1a, following install.txt exactly.
/dev/hda1 100MB ext2
/dev/hda2 300MB swap
/dev/hda3 2.6GB XFS

I mkswap, mke2fs, mkfs.xfs, okay. swapon, mkdir, mount, mkdir, mount. okay.

# mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom -o ro -t iso9660

and the system locks with the message: "HDD lost interrupt."

This machine, identical config, has run freebsd, win9x, win2k. Any idea what I should be trying? The only thing I can think of is to play musical chairs with my IDE channels/devices.

using /dev/hdc (or whatever ide device it is)

?
