Here's a message I get when attempting to install:

Warning: Root selected read only.  It will be assumed you have appropriate
device entries in /dev.

When trying to boot, I get a message saying "Missing Operating System." 
How do I get this darn OS working!  I can't wait to use it!

Thanks Alot,
Matthew
