[Sunhelp] Redhat 6.2 installation on Sparc 5

[Bjrn Ramqvist]

That sound so odd to me... could the internal CDROM got broken?
3 fresh installations of RH6.2 on my SS5-70 went on just fine, with
three different CDROMs. DEC RRD45, TEAC and an old Compaq-branded
Goldstar CDROM.

On Aurora-2 boxes, there's a small sticker on the right front side of
the machine, right next to the CDROM.
