Linux Installation in LPAR - not running installation

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I sorted out my issues with configuring the Linux Partition with the 
HMC.  I think I have have gotten the hang of it.

Now I can vary on the NWS, see the CD-ROM with my SUSE (SLSE 9.0) image 
in it flash, see activity on the console while it attempts to start the 
image to install.  But the installation CD fails to boot.  I see this in 
the console:

It almost acts as though it is trying to boot from the network rather 
than the optical drive.  Is there something simple I missed here?  IPL 
parameters on the NWSD are:
IPL stream file  . . . . . . . . . :   /qopt/SU90.001/install 
                                        
IPL parameters . . . . . . . . . . :   VNC=1                  

Thanks,
