>Description:
When trying to install on a Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 (not R2) I could not get past the boot loader.  It would detect the SCSI drive and then restart a POST.  Changing the virtual machine to an IDE drive allowed me to install the software.  SCSI has performance advantages associated with MSVS as the server it is running on uses SCSI.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the bootonly .iso image on a MSVS 2005 virtual machine setup with SCSI drive.
>Fix:
Could not find any known references to this problem.
