Red Hat 5.2 no longer installable from DRAC?

[Ben Ruset]

Can you get to a shell from that screen? I bet "Local CDROM" is looking 
for the disk in /mnt/cdrom and the virtual CDROM is being mounted 
elsewhere. You could perhaps unmount the virtual CDROM and mount it on 
/mnt/cdrom and the the installer could continue.
