Hello forum members. I have an old HP DL585 G1 server (no virtualization hardware on motherboard) that I want to install version 4.1 on. I know it will only support x86 hypervisor mode. I have two questions: First will 4.1 install on this old box for 32 bit mode hosting, second how do I get around the hard code to mount the CDROM during install when I'm installing from USB drive (unetbootin)?(install fails to prompt due to no CDROM to mount) This old box besides having a defective CDROM, doesn't support a DVD upgrade as far as I can tell, which is why I'm trying to install from USB.
 
I had to gut the USB CDROM and replace it with an old Plextor DVD-RW. The installer found the USB DVD drive on the third bus scan and the install finished without a hitch. Thank you for the quick response.
