[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I burned the DVD and tried to boot on an external Samsung (SE-208) on a
Dell Precision M4600, 8GB main memory, i7-2820 (2.3 GHz), stock Intel
graphics (64MB). Legacy setting.

The internal DVD drive conked out as I went to do this testing. I have too
many other computers with running internal DVD drives if needed.

The DVD, and the drive, boot just fine to the main menu. It loads the
kernel and userland without prompting, if slower than from a USB stick. If
one presses the up/down arrow, after those loads, the focus shifts, at
which point the loading restarts.

The only difference with the process with the USB stick is it proceeds to
the standalone messages and then displays a desktop.

I could test optical media (;)) but the time to set up for debugging, alas,
not this month.
