This was posted in another thread today - I believe it requires SP8
overlay install.

The SATA driver for the optical drive may not be present to complete
the installation.

Solution: Perform the following steps to load the Novell SATA CD/DVD
driver for installation:

1. Select "Manual" installation type.
2. At the storage section (ie. IDECD,SCSIHD) insert and select the
Novell "SATACD.CDM" file. The remainder of the installation should
complete successfully.

from the other posts in the thread, it appears you need a USB CDRom/DVD
to install on the r610/r710.
