'Booting SME ....

root (hd2.0)

Error 21: Selected disk does not exist

Press any key to continue...

I get a whole lot of vertical lines and spme text (in the very low res dot matrix style) and cannot make out what the text says

Not sure how to report bugs, the bug tracker looks a bit hard to follow!
