[Sebastian Gil]

Hello,

(Invalid argument error). I tried to mount manually (mount 
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 /target) but same happens. Can anyone help me?

> Enter your computers BIOS to check computer can boot from CD ROM.

> If you can boot from CD, insert CD ROM into drive.

> Exit the BIOS (if needed save your settings to make sure the computer
> boots from the CD ROM).

> When the Ubuntu splash screen comes up with the `boot:` prompt, type in

> Choose your language, location (country) and then keyboard layout as if

> Enter a host name, or leave it with the default (Ubuntu).

> At this stage you are presented with a screen where you can select which
