Are these the colored bars, or lines of text? ISTR that coloured bars
implies trying a different kernel, or checking that you've got the right
amount of Video DRAM configured. (I haven't got my machine in front of me
so I can't check this :-(
If it's text, could you send *exactly* what it says?

Root device for the install stage ought to be the memory disk, md0a.
