This is a bug in 10 com release. You will have to install again and when you
get to the config screen make sure you test the graphics and it works then
click on options and say yes to boot server at startup.
The same problem occurs with mice and keyboards. If you have any none
standard here use a normal and test otherwise you will loose your pointer
on boot up this is another real pain.
Another common install program is the blue load line. I have found some
discs will not operate on everything. I traced this -after a great deal of
effort- to the fact that I was using old 12 speed cd's for burning. When I
sued the 52 speed discs I overcame this.
Same applied with the amd64 download, only 52 speed discs appear to work
with my machine. (NEC, BTC and Pioneer 106,107 all exhibited this problem)
