[K12OSN] Unable to boot from CD to install K12 LSTP 4.0.1

[Calvin Park, ADCS]

I'm pretty sure the CD's are bootable. You shouldn't have any trouble
booting based on the system specs. With only 128MB you might need to
initialize the SWAP partition right away, but I'm not sure. It should
ask you to do that after it has booted though. 

Not to insult you, but have you checked the BIOS to be sure that it is
set to boot from CD as the first option in the sequence (or second
option if you want it to check the floppy drive first)?
