[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thank you for your replies. My original e-mail included: I tried several bootdisks (resc1440.bin resc1440-safe.bin resc1440tecra.bin) and even old bootdisks from a previous debian version. Also booting from DOS using loadlin doesnt work. Unfortunately the machine cannot boot from cdrom.
