Sounds like the CD-ROM is connected to a SCSI controller that Ubuntu
doesn't know how to use (or just isn't loading the apropriate driver
for)...  a possible solution is to CTRL-ALT-Fx over to a different
terminal, log in, manually load the correct driver (modprobe
driver-name), CTRL-ALT-Fx back to the installer, and hit retry.

[jj] The CD-ROM is not on SCSI.  It's the 2 HDDs that are on SCSI.  The
CD-ROM is on IDE0 as master.

[jj] However, the suggestion of ctrl-alt-Fx over to a different terminal
is not a bad one.  I might conceivably be able to see what the heck is
going on.  When I get a minute I'll try it.
