When trying to install Mandrake 8.1, the installer got stuck at the step
at which it displays the "Trying to access a CDROM disc" message.
The strange thing is that the installer was successfully booted from the
CDROM.
Any hints where to look for the problem? How to work around it?
System configuration (let me know if more information is needed):
Pentium II 300MHz, 384MB memory
/dev/hda - none
/dev/hdb - Yamaha CRW2200 CD/RW
/dev/hdc - a 40GB hard disk (only the first 33GB are recognized due to a
BIOS limitation)
/dev/hdd - none
Mandrake Linux 8.1 - from the CD-ROM set sold during the Linux Day at
Bar-Ilan U.
The hard disk already has RedHat 7.2 and OpenBSD 2.9 installed in it, and
it multi-boots using lilo. When formatting the disk, I reserved few
partitions for the planned Mandrake installation.

There is no IGLU Cabal. There are no integral SCSI cables either (only
differential ones).
