The machine now boots correctly. Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize my
PCMCIA Ethernet adapter (out of the box), and I haven't installed X and
KDE yet, so I have just a lovely full screen black console window, but
I'm declaring victory for the day, logging off, and taking up the
challenge in the morning :-).
I found that I needed to change my /etc/default/pcmcia settings from
"PCIC=yenta_socket" to "PCIC=i82365". This is odd, because in my
previous settings, before a drive failure, it was yenta_socket, and when
it sets up my connection it now automagically changes it from i82365 to
yenta_socket! Nevertheless, it works...
I also found that the sarge installer set /etc/network/interfaces to
"iface eth0 auto", and you don't want "auto" for a PCMCIA interface.
"ifdown eth0;ifup eth0" fixes the problem in the short term.
