I need some more information on this.

Please make a backup of your flash with
   cat /dev/mtdblock? > mtd-backup
and copy it to your machine, so you can later write it back to the
NSLU2 with upslug2.

Then download the Debian installer image again and load it with
upslug2.

When you connect to the installer, open a shell and run the following
commands.  Please send me the output.

  cat /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases
  debconf-get netcfg/get_hostname
  debconf-get netcfg/get_domain
  cat /preseed.cfg

You can then flash mtd-backup with upslug2 to get back into your
system.

Thanks.
