I actually tried a bit later on with the same machine, but this time I had
wiped the first sectors ( about 2048, just to be safe) of the HD. 6.1 Release
CD #1 booted just fine, and I could install and use with no problem at all.
(actually, the UDMA  problems with IDE that I had with 5.3 were gone in 6.1 :)
great job! )

Before wiping it, it had Gentoo installed in it.

(Caveat - the msg I got included BTX Halted, but I cannot confirm whether all
the other information was similar).
