Well, I discovered that one of the problems with the DVD was I used
DVD+R disc and only DVD-R is supported under the X7288A. Once I burned
the ISO to the DVD-R disc and tried it again, then the Linux OS would
actually start.
However, when I did boot from the DVD drive, I encountered this message:
install exited abnormally [0/0] -- received signal 10
I tried it under the netboot ISO as well and encountered the same
problem.
