:This morning I downloaded dfly-i386-2.6.1_REL.iso.bz2, decompressed it
:and burned it onto a CD.
:When I try to boot my system from it I get the following error.
:
:Building databases...

:and there it hangs.

:There didn't seem to be any errors up to that point.

:Thanks, Jim Chapman

    Hmm.  Very odd.  The disk doesn't have a slices struct.  Are any
    drives other than the CD detected by the system boot?  If so try
    disconnecting them and see if the CD boots.  I suspect there's an
    unformatted drive connected that is tickling the bug.
