Hmm... the sha1sums check out for all 5 CDs.  And I used the
same boot CD on another computer and it worked fine there.
So my boot CD and hard drive iso images both check out.
I've tried the installation 2x with the same results on that
computer.  Unless somebody wants me to try to something
else, I'll probably just wait for test3 and try again, but I think
something other than a bad iso image on my disk is to blame.

Cheers...
