Well that was interesting:

- Removed the Promise TX2000, boots from the cd fine! (ahhh)
- Moved the TX2000 from PCI 3 -> PCI 6. Boots from the cd fine.
- Put cover back on, won't boot from cd (growl).
- Replace infra-red mouse with standard 2 button mouse. Boots from cd fine.

So, hmm, not sure exactly what did the trick, but so far I have managed 
to install the 'mininal' distribution set and boot normally.

I will post an update on the final state of affairs, but so far so good.

Thanks for the replies - made me think!
