It's the use of '-boot d' that is creating problems for you. By default, the order= parameter of boot is set to 'cad' which means that it will first boot from the first hard disk, then boot from floppy, then boot from CD-ROM. This seems to be the behavior you're asking for. Additionally, you mentioned a user choosing a different device from the menu. That is possible by adding '-boot menu=on'. This will cause a prompt to the user to hit F12 to change the default boot order. We set 'menu=off' by default because it introduces a small delay during boot up which is considered undesirable by many users. -- Fails to boot from CD after reboot: CDROM boot failure code: 0003 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
