Most likey your machine's hardware does not match what they recommend.
Do you have scsi drives or a network card that is not listed that will
work with the system.

I have been able to successfully boot from a Qube2/Raq2 restore cd, but not
be able to restore, as I don't have an autosensing hub here, and haven't
been able to get the X-over cable trick to work.  I was attempting to boot
from cd burned from the Raq3 ISO, mainly to be sure that it would boot, then
I will take it to a friend who has an autosensing hub and do the restore.
I've taken the disk to him, so I'll find out if he's able to get it to boot
tomorrow.

just seems strange that my pc won't boot, but it has no problem with the
qube restore cd, which is straight from the factory, not made from a
downloaded ISO.
