OK, for some reason, the CD will only work on the computer and cdrom that I 
cut the CD on...

But this custom CD restore stalled with the LED reading 
"lease 150.mfg.cob"
"10.0.0.150"
I did see all the RPMs load.
The disk led is mostly on, goes off momentarily.
The rx/tx led show activity every few seconds.
The PC is saying nothing.
