SolutionVC#2 might have a shell prompt that you can use to poke around in /proc, etc.
VC#3 & #4 may have other useful info as well.
Have you tried booting from floppy? You will need 2 floppies, one having "boot.img", the other drvblock.img for the SCSI drivers.

Re: Cannot see CD-ROM when installing RH 7.2 on Netserver LC
It sounds like Linux is dumping the driver for the scsi adapter after it boots. You'll probably have to follow a procedure like Chuck suggests to make sure it loads the scsi drivers in the kernel during setup.
good luck!

Re: Cannot see CD-ROM when installing RH 7.2 on Netserver LC
Thanks for the suggestions. I fixed the problem. I had to create a "driver floppy disk" by copying a file called "oldcdroms" from the RH 7.2 Installation disk to a floppy disk. The Red Hat 7.2 Installation Guide gave me the solution. Then I had to boot up in "expert" mode at the "boot:" prompt so it would ask me to use the driver disk. Apparently the driver for the old Sony CD-ROM drive that I have is not in the install kernel by default. Once I did this then I could choose to install from the "Local CD-ROM".
