Well, I didn't try it either ;)
what i did try was Alan's suggestion of the Debian rescue disk. I
have never used it in a capacity such as this. I used the 2.2.20-
compact rescue, root, driver-1 and driver-2 binaries. I am able to
boot from the hard drive (woohoo) but the natsemi module doesn't
seem to play well w/ the netgear nic i have at eth0
i am hopeful, if i can get eth0 working, i can upgrade the kernel
to the latest and move on past this to raid1 on this machine.
are there suggestions on how to get the fa311 netgear nic working
w/ 2.2.20-compact?
thanks to all!
Harland
