 It's really not "BOOTONLY" , I can install after boot. It should prompt for
user to insert DISC1, if the user selects CD/DVD media for installation. If
the CD is replaced before the start of the install distribution it would
install fine any ways. It's annoying to do bunch of canels if don't insert
the CD and leave the user to guess when to insert the CD.
