Chris,

I had the same problem.  I tried the FCT2 CD 1, using askmethod and got
the message noted above.  I assumed that there was some kind of check to
insure I was booting from the correct install CD.  I burned the boot
image iso from the images directory and used it to boot into the NFS
install.  Worked fine.
