Did you prep the hard drive and format it?

Why uboot, The cd should boot to the install screen by itself...

SaccDude:

You can't start the installation process from U-Boot since it's an AmigaOS script that runs. I think Marley means that he selected the CD from the boot menu and booted that OK.

Marley:

I think the most likely problem is, as Mike suggested, a failure to prepare a boot partition for the install. You will have to go through the process of creating a partition or partitions on your disk, rebooting and formatting the partition before you can install the OS onto it. You can do all that from the Install CD, selecting the install options.

Make just a small partition for the system (500 MB is ample) and install only the system onto it. Make several other partitions for programs, downloads, etc, etc. Keep the system partition clean for later updates.
