Right. When I saw this mail this afternoon at work however I checked his
boot device; it _should_ be OK (I thought I remembered some alias
funnyness in one or the other OF version of the beige's, making them
different then the rest of the pack).
The advice I can offer is making sure that the IDE disk is indeed
connected as master to the first IDE bus...
Cheers
Michel
PS The beige is running a (alas private) Debian mirror (source, powerpc
and i386 from potato on) on two recycled EMC 18-Gig disks in a striped
LVM volume. Works great :-)
